The bulk of the subseries comprises notes, primary and secondary source material, lecture drafts, notes concerning guest lecturers, and other items documenting Aaron's development of Journalism 499, "Sexual Orientation Issues in the News," in 1999. Several folders document a second version of the course Aarons taught in the fall semester of 2000 with co-instructor Vicki Torres. There is also a syllabus for a related graduate seminar, a syllabus for a later version of the course taught by associate professor Laura Castenada, and three folders focusing primarily on teaching diversity and ethics.
