I'm Thesaurus, and I herald from Colorado and currently attend the University of Colorado, Boulder. I'm interested in contributing as much as I can to Wikiversity. I'm really excited about the idea and I would like to see it reach the point where we have genuine students coming here to learn.

My main interests are Literature, philosophy, linguistics, and classics. I'm currently finishing my undergraduate degree with the following specialties: B.A. English Literature, B.A. Philosophy, Minor Linguistics, Minor Classics (Latin).

I'm interested in all of English literature, but my specialty (and love!) is Victorian literature, society, and culture (esp. novels, Thomas Hardy, Thomas Carlyle, and other prose/essayists). Most of my contributions will probably be in this field. Otherwise, I can contribute generally to most areas of English literature.

I have general competence in philosophy and will contribute there to the best of my ability. I'm especially willing to work within Ancient (esp. Socrates and Plato) and Medieval philosophy, and literary theory (the combined disciplines of literature and philosophy). I have a very rudimentary knowledge of Ancient Greek.

My knowledge of linguistics and Latin is currently in progress. I should be able to give basic help in these areas. In particular, I'm interested in historical and Indo-European linguistics. I have intermediate knowledge of Latin language and literature, but I am progressing steadily.

I'll attempt to squeeze in contributions whenever possible. Currently, I don't think I'm capable of running a course, but I'd like to contribute material, syllabi, etc. I can grade papers/course-work if needed.
