Hello, I'm Elizabeth Gamez. I am currently, as of 2017, a Rice University student. I am majoring in Kinesiology and minoring in Poverty, Justice and Human Capabilities. My interests include looking at the intersectionality of education, race, and identity and its effects on society. I am also interested in immigration and its causes and effects on groups of people. I look forward to being part of the wiki editing community and making information more readily available.

Current article/project I am working on
Topic 3: Human trafficking in South America

This article is missing information on specific countries, which I plan on adding since that would add a more in dept look into Latin America. Additionally, I would be able to talk about different types of trafficking (sex work or labor or organ harvesting). Since there is no section on the consequences of trafficking or what is being done to prevent human trafficking, I would also plan to add those sections. Finally, I would like to change the title or construct a new article that focuses on Latin America.

Past articles/projects I worked on
Social Mobility is a such a broad topic and therefore will allow me to look into various aspects of society. I hope to use the knowledge I'll gain to inform people on the topic further. The article covers the basics, such as what social mobility is and theories on it. I hope to improve the article by possibly expanding on the topics already discussed in the article (education) or adding new and fresh ideas. Because this article is not as developed and is a broad topic, I can add sections on health and housing, and even sections on social mobility in other counties.

Topics being considered for the future
Topic 1: Latina American and the Caribbean women migrant workers from developing countries.

The parent article “Women migrant workers from developing countries” has only two sentences underneath the subheading of Latin American and Caribbean Women. Therefore, I think that I can either add to this article, however, that would present the issue of having too much of a specific group of people on a parent article which could be considered bias. Alternatively, I would create a new article and simply add more about this group of women to the parent article.

Topic 2: Anti-Mexican Sentiment

For this topic, I plan to use “Stereotypes of Hispanics and Latino Americans in the United States” as a reference article as to where to take the article I will be working on. “Anti-Mexican Sentiment” is an article that is primarily constructed as a timeline. I wanted to focus on the consequences of Anti-Mexican sentiment, specifically on the affect it has on the communities, families, and children of Mexican/Mexican American. I would be interesting to see how Mexican/Mexican American children’s academics are affected.

TOPIC 3: STRUCTURAL INEQUALITY IN EDUCATION

[[Structural inequality in Education]] I have always been interested in the inequalities of education and I hope working on this topic will allow me to learn more and inform other people on it as well. I think it would be a good opportunity to learn more about obstacles minorities and underfunded communities confront every day in their schools. If improved, this article can be a good source of information for the general public when researching structural educational barriers. I think this topic has much to be said about. I would like to present more information on student tracking while expanding some of the existing sections. It can also benefit from sections on structural inequalities of other countries.
