Winter 2022 - This class was definitely one of my favorites that I've taken at UCLA. Professor Morris is incredibly knowledgable about queer history and pop music, and I loved hearing all of his personal anecdotes and opinions on the music we listened to in class. He didn't mind explaining the basics of listening, understanding, and writing about music, which was really nice considering that a lot of professors expect students to know everything already on the first day. Professor Morris really cares about all of his students and wants them all to not only succeed in his classes, but to enjoy what they're learning about too. I'd take him again in a heartbeat for any class he's teaching. Highly recommend you take this class if you're considering it, you likely won't find anything else like it anywhere else.
