Queer Current Events:

The queer community has been experiencing collective trauma related to our lived identities in western society. Recently, drag bans, all ages drag shows, and anti-trans legislation have been sweeping through the United States and are affecting our communities everywhere. This session, taught by Victoria Bucholtz will move through these current events through a historical lens and share how these events are allowing us to see history repeating itself.
