Ava McClung is a freshman in the School of Humanities at Rice University. She grew up in a liberal Baptist (Protestant Christian) church, which helped form her interest in the intersection of religion and social justice. Ava is currently enrolled in a course at Rice on Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities, through which she is editing articles on those topics.

Proposed Topic

I plan to create an article about LGBT refugees around the world. This article was requested through the LGBT Wikiproject, and the person requesting it pointed out that there is no parent article for the articles about LGBT refugees in Canada and the United States. A parent article would help highlight a multicultural and global perspective.
