I'm looking for books especially about philosophy, sociology, gender studies and cultural studies.
I just want to learn more about these fields.
Thanks!

I’ve been thinking about what it means to be considered Japanese. I’m a Japanese citizen myself, but I’m curious how other Japanese people think about this.
Although Japan is often described as homogeneous, there are many people with different background.
There are Indigenous peoples like the Ainu and Ryukyuan/Okinawan peoples,Zainichi peoples, people with immigrant backgrounds who were born or raised in Japan, naturalized citizens, and mixed-race Japanese people.
How do you personally understand "being Japanese"?
For example, what do you think about Naomi Osaka?

I know I could ask this on a Japanese website, but I wanted to hear what people in this community think.

I will be graduating from uni soon, and something that's been bothering me is whether I will lose access to all the academic journals out there.

During uni, I've been so happy to be able to read pretty much anything I'm curious about. It is now part of my hobby. I recently found that unimelb has an alumni journal subscription for $25/year and the webpage https://www.unimelb.edu.au/alumni/benefits/professional-development/online-journal-access says I can access more than 2000 full-text journals etc.

I wonder how good the access is. Is it anywhere close to what you get as students or is it limited? (I'm guessing it's limited)

Would love to know how others keep absorbing new research and educating themselves after uni :) Thanks!
