We have applied our work in progress draft, though I forgot to move the previous article first. Can someone help us out with that? Again, further suggestions to the current draft will be helpful! We're still cleaning up the citations. Jeffree lee ( talk) 16:24, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Also, please note the the current focus is on structural inequality in the United States, and we would greatly appreciate help in continuing to expand the scope of this article. FYI, I've created a new page for the existing content under Structural inequality in education. Jeffree lee ( talk) 22:20, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
I am working with a partner to edit this page as a class project. I recommend that this page join the WikiProject group "Sociology" and any other pages that are deemed relevant by the Wikipedia community. My partner and I have come up with a list of proposed changes to the article and would greatly appreciate feedback. While this page provides very comprehensive and thorough information regarding structural inequality in education as well as racial discrimination, I feel that it would benefit from additional sections such as structural inequality in employment, housing, and healthcare. I also think that the element of gender discrimination should be discussed since it definitely plays a significant role in impeding certain groups from equal opportunities. I think this page would provide a more holistic overview of structural inequality and its ramifications with the addition of these new sections, and any other sections that people see as necessary. For our research, we will be consulting scholarly journal articles, such as "The New Geography of Inequality in Urban America" (Massey 2004). We will also consult the UNRISD and books that cover topics related to the different areas of structural inequality that we intend to cover. LWang1991 ( talk) 20:18, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
I am working with LWang1991 on this class project for Rice University's SOCI 280: Introduction to Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. In addition to her comments, I would like to add that we will be adding another section devoted to tracing some of the history of structural inequality, especially as it relates to development. We plan to reference a number of our class readings from the UNRISD, in addition to more specific articles on the four topics. We are definitely open to new ideas and constructive critiques of our planned changes. Jeffree lee ( talk) 20:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
I would like to consider moving the current contents to a new article dealing specifically with "Education and Structural Inequality" since it seems too specific for an article on "Structural Inequality" in general. Can someone with perhaps more experience with Wikipedia help clarify what the best practice would be for this situation? Jeffree lee ( talk) 20:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
This section needs a complete overhaul. Ever reference appears to be around 20 years old, and certain claims, like the pay gap, have been shown to be non-existent today. At least in regard to men earning more than women. More and more it is the other way around in developed countries.
