Human Sexuality Op-Ed and Instagram Project

Acknowledgments:
This assignment is adapted from Dr. Morgan C. Jerald’s final project for her Psychology of Black Women course at Macalester College; many thanks to Dr. Jerald for sharing her assignment instructions with me! Dr. Jerald indicated that the op-ed portion was in turn adapted from an assignment used by Dr. Elizabeth Levy Paluck at Princeton.

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.
