Research Fridays @ Intersections of Gender - Visual Pedagogies: Teaching Can Be a Real Drag (Show)

Tommy Mayberry (Executive Director, Centre for Teaching and Learning) joins us for a talk that explores visual pedagogies through a sincere and earnest look at their life, one congruent of academic and drag cultures, of traditional teaching and dragged-up pedagogies. They bring together a constellation of transgender visuality, queer phenomenology, and visual performance as a social justice leader with an anti-imperialist inclusive practice.

They strive to embody and model decolonial, anti-racist, and equity-driven intersectional visions and leadership.
