Introduction

Welcome to my userpage! I'm Erica, a Bachelor of Arts student at the moment at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, majoring in Philosophy and Political Studies. If you're a racist, sexist, heterosexist, transphobe, religious fundamentalist — or any other participant in the unexamined life — you probably won't get along with me very well. Other than that, I tend to welcome (considered) disagreement and debate. If there is anything you'd like to know about me that the rest of my userpage can't answer, please don't hesitate to leave me a message and ask.

Contributions

I contribute mostly towards articles relating to the City of Johannesburg, the University of the Witwatersrand and articles relating to politics, sociology, philosophy, history, psychology, war, international relations, veganism, art, geography, architecture, biology, astronomy, LGBTIAQ issues, geology and linguistics. But regardless, I'll contribute towards almost any article I happen to come across.

UserProjects

I've started two personal projects, which I call UserProjects, in order to improve Wikipedia coverage of the University of the Witwatersrand and the City of Johannesburg. The Wits Project, the one focusing on the University of the Witwatersrand, is currently the most developed of the two. I have yet to begin any real work on the Jo'burg Project, the one focusing on Johannesburg, but I'm planning on getting to that soon.
