Course Information

The following details courses I have taught. Unless stated otherwise, all courses were at the University of Houston. If you click a course name (or the triangle next to it), you will see each semester I have taught that class, so far. The link for each one takes you to a PDF file. Each PDF includes the syllabus, and then when the semester is over I typically update the file so that it includes sample assignments and handouts for that specific course and semester. If you have any questions or if you would like additional information, please contact me.

In addition to the files below, please see the Big Idea History Syllabus (video essay version), the Big Idea Writing Syllabus, and the Big Idea Gender Studies Syllabus.

**During the Fall 2021 semester, I am teaching Intro to LGBT/Queer Studies, Intro to Women’s Studies, and Secularisms/Atheisms.

**During the Spring 2022 semester, I will be teaching Intro to LGBT/Queer Studies, Intro to Women’s Studies, US Queer History Through Literature, Memoir and US Women’s Religious History

Because of COVID19, everything will be taught 100% online. All Office Hours will be 100% online, too.
