It comes down to two classes, ultimately for me. SOC 400: Sociology of Sexuality and WGSS 327: Perspectives in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies. WGSS 327 was largely about the histories of the LGBTQ+ community, and it focused in particular on the different movements for LGBTQ+ acceptance and rights. As a member of that community, a lot of the history was familiar. However, I gained a new lens to look at people’s experiences and identities. Sociology of Sexuality with Dr. Brooker was also a great experience, since it reinforced a lot of the previous material that I learned about in WGSS 327. I would recommend that everyone take at least one course about human sexuality or about minority and marginalized identities in their time as a college student.
