1 WMST 124/SOCI124 — Sex and Gender in Society
^ This course changed my life. Kleinman, who usually leads the course, empowers students to talk effec
tively about difficult but important issues. Her method is student-centered, participatory and creates
community. The workload is very reasonable and the readings are some of the best I've had at UNC.
On a scale of 1 to 10, SOCI124 with Kleinman is a 12.

Hands-down one of the best classes at UNC.

2 PUBH 420-001 — AIDS: Principles, Practices and Politics
^ I really enjoyed this one hour pass/fail class. On the first day the professor told everyone to put their
notepads away and to just listen and soak in as much as they could. It covers a wide range of issues
from the science behind HIV drugs to HIV in Latina/o communities. The panels of people living
with HIV/AIDS were incredibly stirring and informative.

ENGL 140 - Gay and Lesbian Literature
This class explores LGBTQ relationships in writing, poetry and short stories. Wendy Weber is a great
instructor who encourages students to look beyond heternormative ideas of love and relationships.
This is by far one of the best English courses here.

4 POLI 218 — Politics of Sexuality
^ Politics of Sexuality — the course that convinced me to declare my minor in Sexuality Studies! I can
still remember how the class reacted to Dr. Convover's third lecture on coming out. It's absolutely bril
liant. The professor is a skilled facilitator and really engages students in her lectures. The readings are
provocative and the workload is demanding, but it is worth every minute you will spend. She also screens some
very moving films. This is without a doubt one of the best courses offered at Carolina.
