I am a postdoc in philosophy.
I contribute to a blog for philosophers who use LaTeX. If you fall in to that niche, check it out: PhilTeX. (The blog will be of use to all kind of humanities scholars using LaTeX, I imagine, but it was started by, and is run by philosophers...) The blog is currently defunct, but may be resurrected soon.
I made this beamer colour change package that slowly changes the colour of structure elements of beamer presentations. Feedback welcome.
I also made this moreenum package which adds new enumeration options.
The TeX goodies page of my website includes some other bits and bobs I've done.

Is the word “epic” being used correctly these days? This question is AWESOME. I am in awe of it. |

Is there a correct gender-neutral, singular pronoun (“his” versus “her” versus “their”)? @tchrist What is "it" if not a gender neutral pronoun? What does agency have to do with a grammatical fact about whether a pronoun discloses a gender? I'm not suggesting "it" as an answer here. I'm merely pointing out that what the OP wants might not be best described as a "gender neutral pronoun". It was pedantic, and possibly misguided, but what you said doesn't speak to the point I was making. |

Why did “insofar” become a word, not “insofaras”? @FumbleFingers I don't think this is a duplicate. I am specifically asking about why "insofar" is a word and "insofaras" is not. It is certainly a related question, but it is not the same question. |

Why did only English undergo the Great Vowel Shift, making pronunciation stray so far from spelling? Native German speakers regularly mispronounce certain German words? Sounds a little bit presrciptivist there. Surely however they regularly pronounce them is the right pronounciation? |

Why did “insofar” become a word, not “insofaras”? The point is this: long and regular association of these words in this order: "in so far" led to them being written as one word. Why didn't the same process produce "insofaras" given that almost all case of the former are cases of the latter? |
