About the Event
Join Drag Story Hour- Arizona in welcoming Lil Miss Hot Mess for her talk on Drag Pedagogy! This event was made possible by Arizona Humanities.
Description:
What can kids (and adults) learn from drag performers? In this lecture, drag queen and scholar Lil Miss Hot Mess will discuss her research on "drag pedagogy," offering insight into the diverse forms of knowledge and skills that drag queens, drag kings, and other drag artists impart through Drag Story Hours and nightlife performances alike. In so doing, she argues that drag's historical cultural contributions go well beyond upending stereotypical gender roles to enacting imaginative forms of play that promote critical thinking, creativity, and community building. In addition to speaking about her work with Drag Story Hour, she will also touch on research on drag history and the intersections of drag and digital technology.
