My name is Stanley Tsou, and I am an undergraduate student at Rice University majoring in Biosciences and minoring in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. My interests lie in the intersection between medicine, health advocacy, and policymaking. I look forward to contributing to articles on the social and cultural dimensions of health.{{dashboard.wikiedu.org student editor | course = [[Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Rice_University/Poverty,_Justice,_and_Human_Capabilities_Section_1_(Fall_2021)]] | slug = Rice_University/Poverty,_Justice,_and_Human_Capabilities_Section_1_(Fall_2021) }}{{dashboard.wikiedu.org student editor | course = [[Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Rice_University/Poverty,_Justice,_and_Human_Capabilities_(Spring_2022)]] | slug = Rice_University/Poverty,_Justice,_and_Human_Capabilities_(Spring_2022) }}{{Boxboxtop|align=right}}{{my sandbox}}

== Revised Article (Spring 2022) ==

=== Renewable energy in Kenya ===
Kenya has one of the most developed renewable energy sectors in sub-Saharan Africa. In fact, according to the 2021 World Economic Survey, 92.3% of electricity in Kenya is generated from renewable sources, of which geothermal accounts for 44%, hydro for 36%, and wind for 11%. Currently, the “Renewable energy in Kenya” page on Wikipedia is rated as Start-Class and Mid-Importance. The article contains brief descriptions of geothermal power, hydroelectricity, and solar power. However, there is a lack of information on wind power and future renewable energy targets. I will be working on expanding the existing sections, reformatting the article’s illustrations, and incorporating the recent sustainable development goals as outlined in the Kenya Vision 2030 implementation plan.

== Proposed New Article (Fall 2021) ==
As part of a semester-long project and BLM & AAPI Ally Edit-a-thon for my course, "Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities," I plan on writing a new article titled, "Anti-Apartheid Movement in the United States." The existing article "[[Anti-Apartheid Movement]]" focuses on the boycott protests in Britain that expanded into a larger anti-apartheid movement following the [[Sharpeville massacre]] in 1960. Coverage on the anti-apartheid movement in the United States, however, remains limited. While articles on subtopics such as the [[Free South Africa Movement]] and the [[Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act]] exist, there is currently no parent article on anti-apartheid movement in the United States. The article that I will be creating, “Anti-Apartheid Movement in the United States,” will cover the origins of the anti-apartheid movement in the U.S. beginning from the Civil Rights Movement, followed by a section on demonstrations across U.S. colleges and universities, and ending with U.S. sports and cultural boycotts against South Africa.
