Hello! My name is Melissa! I currently live in Houston and am a sophomore in college. I am interested in studying racial disparities, educational inequalities and human rights issues. I also want to study the effects of colonials and neoliberalism through a global lens. I look forward to editing and creating pages on these topics as I become a member of the Wikipedia community.

I am currently working on updating pages that relate to social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as Impact of COVID-19 on Education and Gendered impacts of COVID-19 pandemic. The article I edited during the months of October-December 2020 was Educational Inequalities in the U.S. I look forward to continuing my work on Wikipedia and contributing to its collective knowledge!

Current Proposed Topics

[edit]

Gendered Impacts of COVID-19

·      The article hasn’t been significantly updates since last summer, which means it is missing important aspects of the pandemic that have happened since then. I want to add more information to reflect the current state of affairs. Also, there was some controversy on the talk page about bias, so I hope to provide information that can make the page more neutral. Possible revisions would be to add more global information to the page, and provide more information to certain sections, like women caregivers and increase in unpaid work.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education

I primarily would like to focus on the subsection “impact on formal education.” Currently this section has a lot of information about the U.S. specifically. I am considering creating a new page that focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education in the United States. An alternative to making this new page would be to add more global perspectives to this page.

Previous Proposed Topics

[edit]

Racial Education Inequality

I am interested in reforming the Race section in the Education Inequality wikipedia page. There is no reference to racial systemic differences that cause educational inequalities to persist. I would like to expand the Race section, and possibly add another sub section under this that addresses the reasons why racial education inequality in the U.S exists. I want to address the causes of educational inequality on the basis of race, which is not currently addressed in this Wikipedia page.
