About me

Hello! I am Roselyn, a rising sophomore at Rice University majoring in Political Science. I am currently enrolled in "Human Development in Global & Local Communities course", the second introductory course for my Poverty, Justice and Human Capabilities minor. Last year I helped edit the violence against women in Mexico article as I am interested in women's rights, specifically in the context of Latin American countries. This year I hope to continue my journey as a Wikipedia editor and find another article to improve upon! Below you can find a list of WikiProjects I am apart of and a detailed description fo the work I contributed last Fall.

Fall 2022 Project: Violence against women in Mexico

Last Fall, I edited the violence against women in Mexico page by adding more information regarding the history of machismo, femicides and the increase in domestic violence during COVID-19. In total I contributed 7,285 words and helped organize the structure of the article. If you are interested in learning about the specific struggles women face in Mexico, definitely check out this article!

Spring 2023 Project: Hispanic and Latino Americans in politics

For this Spring semester I have decided to expand on the following article. Below is a general overview of the edits I will be making as well as the resources I will be referencing. I am currently waiting to hear feedback (from college professors) on my edit proposal for the article. After I receive edit suggestions, I will update my user page and add more details on my plans for the articles. Rovalle234 (talk) 00:18, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

"Hispanic and Latino Americans in Politics":

This article does not include the history of voter disenfranchisement against Latinos. I'd be interested in adding more historical context to the article as well as research regarding the groups political ideology since there isn't a clear conclusion as to how they lean. I find it important to dissect a lot of the political science literature on latinos, on a space like Wikipedia to expose the general public on different findings.
