Academia + Pirates
 PDFs and hypertext of bri's academic papers and dissertations here for you to read (and hopefully to properly cite rather than rip off, but if you do care to take the risk just remember you aren't the only person who knows how to use the internet).

Paper topics include sex, death, pirates, The Gift, and punk rock and Georges Bataille.
