Julia Tang, “Open-ended Institutional Engagement Project Individual Position Paper” BISSTA 304 Institutions And Social Change, Professor Christian Anderson, Spring 2021.

The Open-ended Institutional Engagement Project Individual Position Paper explores how the lack of inclusive, comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) negatively affects children and adolescents' health, safety, and development. Tang discusses the process of working on data collection in a group setting, identifying issues, and bringing up possible solutions to the lack of inclusive, comprehensive sex education, and providing ways that others can get involved.

The Open-ended Institutional Engagement Project is one of the more successful and impactful projects to me. I appreciated the opportunity to research a topic that I am enthusiastic about, and it also provided me with more experiences to advance my leadership and collaboration skills. As a group, we created a safe learning and working environment, had respectful and meaningful discussions, and worked collectively towards a common goal.
