The History and Practice of Drag: Gender Performance and Human Rights

The entire JCU community is invited to attend “The History and Practice of Drag: Gender Performance and Human Rights” on Saturday, October 12, 2019 from 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM in the Dolan Science Center Atrium. Hear from Dr. Lady J (known outside of drag as Jeremiah Davenport, PhD) on the history of drag and why drag deserves academic attention. Listen to Anhedonia Delight (known outside of drag as JCU alumni, Taylor Hartman, M.S.S.A/Social Work), as they describe the intersections between drag, mental health, gender expression, and gender identity. Watch live drag performances by Aurora Thunder, Dr. Lady J, Anhedonia Delight, and learn how and why this art form is practiced within the LGBTQ+ community. Don’t know very much about drag or have questions you want a safe place to ask? Don’t miss the educational Q&A to finish the night!
