Kareem Khubchandani: DIVAS, DRAG QUEENS, AUNTIES, & OTHER ACADEMIC PERSONAS

Join us for a talk by Kareem Khubchandani exploring how queer scholars of color navigate and self-fashion within the academy, where the body is often obscured in favor of the mind. Drawing on his work on queer South Asian nightlife, global drag, and representations of the aunty, he reflects on the intersections of research, teaching, and performance. Khubchandani is the author of Decolonize Drag, Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife and is Associate Professor at Tufts University.
