I am a student at Rice University currently taking the Poverty, Justice and Human Capabilities course. I'm excited to learn more in this class and I hope to be able to better explain the multiple forms of injustice that occur in the United States, especially in terms of race and income. One topic I am especially interested in is medical racism.

New Article: Healthcare in Prison in the United States

My first choice is to create a new article titled “Healthcare in Prison in the United States.” Currently there is not a lot about the healthcare that incarcerated people receive in prison. I feel that it is important to note it, as the people in prison are disportionately black and hispanic and so their exposure to bad healthcare is increased. I also want to examine the health of people before they are incarcerated, and how that can impact their chances of committing crime, as well as how they fare after they are released. Additionally, I want to mention the current pandemic and its effects on the prisoners. I believe that this would require an entirely new article, since there is a lot of information on this topic and it is important enough to create a new one.

Racial Component to Terry Stop article

The second topic I am interested in covering is the expansion of the already existing “Terry Stop” article, otherwise known as stop and frisk. Although it gives a good literal definition of what this is, it fails to mention racial aspects, i.e. the disproportionate invocation of this law on black and hispanic people, resulting in increased arrests. I think it is important to add this kind of information because many people are unaware of this inequality and tend to believe that the police treat everyone equally.

Finished Projects: Occupational Segregation

I believe the Occupational Segregation page on Wikipedia needs an addition of racial segregation in the workplace, as currently, it only discusses the gender aspect. This is necessary to add in, since people who are learning about occupational segregation should have a more holistic view of what occurs, especially since it is so prevalent. Also, the racial section of occupational inequality on Wikipedia links to this page, which suggests that this page is missing crucial information. I myself wish to learn more about this topic as I study it, since I have discussed this issue with my parents before. I think that more awareness of this issue will result in more change among employers and companies.
