The best class I have taken. His class is based on maps, some class work and 2 major essays. He is not boring. He teaches things that actually matter.

I took Prof. Lentz for introduction to social problems. I highly recommend him. He genuinely cares about his students. There’s tons of writing to do but it’s not really hard at all. Class discussions consist of videos and he doesn’t lecture much, but he’s still able to make an interesting class.

Good
Honestly Professor Lentz's class is pretty boring but really easy to do well in. You only have two major paper grades and the rest is easy homework assignments. Attendance not mandatory but he gives an attendance grade

Professor Lentz is a very nice guy that loves to talk about issues.This class is made up of text maps on the books, readings, worksheets on movies in class, and two papers for the semester. Overall, an easy A with a great professor.

"'You're Gender Expression is Showing!': A Qualitative Analysis Exploring Gender Expression as a Target in the Harassment among Sexual Minority Males."
ProQuest
For the purposes of this thesis, I explored deviant gender expressions or gender transgressions among sexual minority males and the subsequent harassment that often results because of these transgressions. In the United States, people are expected to conform to rigid gender expressions. Men are expected to be masculine and women are expected to be feminine. Previous research showed that problems often arise when people do not conform to their prescribed gender roles and expectations. For example, effeminate men are often harassed, and that harassment leads to negative consequences such as academic difficulties, increased substance abuse and suicidal ideation. In this thesis, I aimed to answer the following research questions: 1) How and in what ways are sexual minority males harassed based on gender expression? 2) Do effeminate sexual minority males experience harassment differently than masculine sexual minority males? 3) What types of consequences arise from this harassment? To answer these questions, I conducted 10 semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with sexual minority males, who are 18 years of age or older in Connecticut. I recruited my participants at various LGBT meetings around Connecticut and by using Facebook. My findings revealed effeminate sexual minority males did experience verbal harassment, while their counterparts did not experience any gender expression harassment.

‘Is That Your Gender Expression Showing?’ An Exploration of Institutionalized Masculinity Perpetuating the Gender Binary in the Form of Gender Expression Harassment
Under Review. Sexualities.
I explore how institutional masculinity perpetuates the gender binary and how effeminate sexual minority males are often harassed more, based on gender expression, than their masculine counterparts. In the United States, people are expected to conform to rigid gender expressions. Previous research shows that problems often arise when people are gender non-conforming. I conducted 10 semi-structured, face-to-face interviews in Connecticut with sexual minority males who were 18 years of age or older. I recruited my participants at various LGBT meetings and Facebook groups. My findings revealed effeminate sexual minority males did experience more harassment than their masculine counterparts.
