I'm interested in international affairs and economics, foreign policy, global finance, and political economy. I am also interested in health technologies and utilizing the crossroads of bioengineering and policy to formulate solutions to global crises. I want to contribute to areas that pertain to global inequality and race disadvantages.

Here are some articles I'm interested in working on, with some brief explanation for revisions:

Topic: “Discrimination based on skin color” (or “Colorism”)

Section of interest: India

Explanation for Revisions

a.    The section regarding colorism in India is not well developed. Given that colorism is a looming societal issue in India, more history and background need to be provided regarding the development of this approach to society. The historical descriptions also abruptly move into modern-day occurrences; these modern-day issues are also not explored closely enough.

b.    Additionally, the societal impacts of skin color need to be detailed to a greater extent. There are few connections made between the legal struggles faced and the societal struggles faced by those experiencing harsh colorism.

c.    It would be productive to include the variation in treatment from state to state. The article currently only elaborates on the state of Maharashtra, which is not indicative of India as a whole. Each state in India varies in genetic makeup, cultural norms, and language, so it is unproductive to group these ideas together.
