Open Question

Stories about solutions-focused research

OQ

Designing solutions to social problems is perplexing work that inevitably requires traveling an arduous path marked by challenges, pivots, and far more questions than answers.

In a deliberate effort to create editorial space for dispatches from this path, Stanford Impact Labs (SIL) has created Open Question, a series of stories about pressing social problems and innovative, solutions-focused research shaped to tackle them.

This series offers a closer look at data-driven interventions and emerging solutions, as well as unresolved challenges, fresh perspectives, and new ways of working.
