SUMMARY:“Divas\, Drag Queens\, Aunties\, and Other Academic Personas” with Kareem Khubchandani
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Program in XE: Experimental Humanities & Social Engagement. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality\, and NYU Department of Art & Public Policy. \nRSVP (open to the NYU community) \nWhere the scholar’s body is often obscured in preference for their mind\, evacuating the body from academic labor is a luxury rarely available to queer people of color. This talk explores the possibilities of self-fashioning in the academy for minoritarian subjects. Tracing his trajectory across various intellectual projects—queer South Asian nightlife\, global drag\, representations of the aunty—Kareem Khubchandani explores the co-constitutive relationships between research\, teaching\, and artistry\, between ethnography\, analysis\, pedagogy\, and performance. \nKareem Khubchandani is the author of the award-winning books Decolonize Drag and Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife. He is also co-editor of the Lambda Literary-nominated Queer Nightlife\, guest editor of Text and Performance Quarterly’s “Critical Aunty Studies\,” and associate editor for GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies. Kareem is Associate Professor of theater\, dance\, and performance studies at Tufts University and FO Matthiessen Visiting Associate Professor of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Harvard University. His new book\, Lessons in Drag: A Queer Manual for Academics\, Artists\, and Aunties is now out from Brandeis University Press. \nHosted by XE Faculty Fellow Alisha Cherian. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the NYU community only. Registration is required. \nAccessibility note: This venue is located on the fourth floor and is accessible via elevator. For accommodation requests\, we ask that you email xe@nyu.edu at least seven days before the event.
