Dr. Vagistan, your favorite South Asian drag auntie, brings the nightclub to the classroom (and vice versa) to explain how critical social theory matters in queer nightlife. Touching on themes that include globalization, feminist theory, and islamophobia, she stages the nightclub as a site of politics and pleasure. Part lecture, part lipsync, part audience participation, the show demonstrates how much drag teaches us, even requires us, to be in relation with the rest of the world.

Event attendance is first come, first served. There is limited seating. Doors will open at 5:30pm, and the event will start at 5:45pm.

This event is also co-sponsored by ITALIC, an arts-minded, residence-based academic program for first year Stanford students.
