Introductory post!

Hello STohme, I'm a freshman at Rice who hopes to major in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and minor in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I'm mostly interested in human development especially within the indigenous South Asian population regarding access to health and education, as well as environmental justice. It's really cool that you plan to combine your medical studies with PJHC and look at development from the health perspective! I look forward to looking at your contributions!

HIV/AIDS in Lesotho

Hi! Nice work on fleshing out your article. My biggest suggestion for final improvements would be to add some information that puts the topic into a broader context... in particular, what's the relationship to HIV/AIDS in South Africa and other nearby countries (beyond just high rates, as illustrated by the map). I think it would also be improved by being more careful about attributions of causality; you're dealing with a lot of sociological and economic arguments around social/cultural factors which often make sense don't necessarily reflect a consensus beyond the individual scholars who write about that particular factor, so being explicit about according to whom within the text (and not just indirectly via footnotes) would make for a stronger article.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:56, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
