Hi! I am glad that we are in this class together! This minor ties in nicely with your majors. I am a Kinesiology major, so this topic ties in well with the health aspect of my major. But honestly this minor relates to a student in any major because we are all living in a hurting world that needs informed people to take action.

Hello! I am also in your class, and I admire your decision to study Latin American Studies as it is a huge field of study not many people seem to understand fully. I myself am a Computer Science Pre-medicine student, but I am very curious to see how you incorporate political science and Latin American Studies into this course!

Hi, I am interested in what topics you are considering for your article! Do you have any ideas in mind? Ensquared (talk) 21:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

I haven't really narrowed it down to anything yet, so we'll see! Efoxman42 (talk) 23:18, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Potential Wiki Articles to Edit:

I am interested in this topic because I think political corruption in Mexico is the root of many of the country’s issues – clientelism yields social and economic injustices and fosters problems such as economic inequality and inequity, drug trafficking, impoverished peripheries, and more. Additionally, the existing Wikipedia article for this topic is bare and uninformative; I would like to rewrite/add to revise the article by including an historical analysis of the PRI and by including a contemporary issues section.

I am interested in this topic because I think this area of study is at the same time relevant and underrepresented. Last year I worked on a research paper that featured Judaism in Mexico for a “Politics and Culture of Mexico” class, and I found it difficult to find concise, consistent, and easily accessible information on the topic. Beyond this, the topic is interesting because it provides insight into minority groups’ struggles to find legitimate space, place, and identity within a rigid social structure.

I would like to rewrite/add to the existing article on Judaism in Mexico, specifically revising the pre-independence section to include more of a focus on the Porfiriato and revising the post-independence section to include more of a focus on the years surrounding World War II.

I am interested in this topic because I think it has the potential to encompass numerous issues that face Mexico. Rather than simply isolating one problem, this topic addresses multiple, and works to find common impetuses and roots. Issues such as the fight for legitimate freedom of speech and expression, the presence of widespread violence, and child labor are systematic problems that require research and questioning. The existing Wikipedia article briefly covers some of these issues, but does not adequately address or cover them; I would like to rewrite/add to the existing article by adding more information on the current subtopics (Freedom of the press, massacres, corruption, domestic violence, child labor, LGBT rights) and by potentially analyzing these issues through the lens of the Mexican democratization process.
