Human Sexuality Op-Ed and Instagram Project
Goals:
Explore a specific issue relevant to human sexuality in depth
Search and synthesize peer-reviewed research relevant to your issue
Communicate about sexual science to a public audience in a persuasive way
This project includes multiple parts. First, you will complete an op-ed, including a topic proposal, first draft, and final draft. Second, you will make a PowerPoint for Instagram based on the topic of your op-ed.
Part 1: Op-ed Assignment
Take a position on a social, political, educational, or cultural issue that relates to human sexuality. Op-eds (opinion-editorials) are not reportage or literature reviews.
The goal of an op-ed is to make a persuasive argument for addressing a topical issue or problem.
How can we best work toward solving the problem or achieving a related goal?
