​On Feb. 10, Sung taught a class at Lowell High School in San Francisco on the topic of the impacts of civic engagement on local history. By examining the Osaka mayor terminating sister-city ties with San Francisco in 2018, students were engaged in the discussion, which highlighted the civic engagement in both Osaka and San Francisco. The discussion also covered the collective efforts to preserve the history of “comfort women,” advance women’s human rights, and counter all forms of sexual and gender-based violence.
