Harvard University hired a drag performer as a new professor — who is expected to teach a class on TV show “Ru Paul’s Drag Race” in the spring semester, the Ivy League school announced over the summer.
The institution welcomed Kareem Khubchandani in a July message to the college community and revealed the visiting professor from Tufts University will teach in the Studies of Gender and Sexuality program thanks to the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus.
Khubchandani is perhaps better known by his stage name, “LaWhore Vagistani,” — a persona that the academic has made an integral part of their pedagogy.
The professor will often lecture in the guise of “LaWhore,” which has been a personal project for over a decade, even spawning a music video entitled “Sari.”
In an interview with his own drag persona published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2015, Khubchandani spilled the tea on the origin of the off-putting stage name.
“My name is LaWhore Vagistan, my preferred pronouns are “she” or “aunty.” I chose ‘LaWhore’ because my family traces its origins to Pakistan: Lahore is an important city in Pakistan, and well, I’m a bit of a w*ore,” the drag queen said.
“And Vagistan because I see the subcontinent as one, big, beautiful Vag…istan,” he wrote in the tacky, naval-gazing self-interview.
Khubchandani will teach just two classes over the course of two semesters — “Queer Ethnography” in the fall and “RuPaulitics: Drag, Race, and Desire” in the spring semester, according to Harvard’s announcement.
The latter class will apparently focus on the cable television show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
The Tufts University associate professor of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies has authored books “Decolonizer Drag: and “Ishstyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife” and is debuting his newest tome this fall — “Lessons in Drag: A Queer Manual...

Not to be confused with her Mexican cousin, LaPuta which also is the name of a former Siberian city destroyed by some hat waving cowboy riding atop a bomb.
This is like a Bond Villain, remember Alotta Vagina, Holly Goodhead and the unforgettable Octopussy
And for this, young people are expected to leave college with a massive student loan and no job prospects.
FREAK.
He should focus more on his mental problems, get help.
Pussy Galore, I think that was her name.
RE: Harvard University hired a drag performer as a new professor
And one has to pay $50,000 a semester for this?
Why did the Harvard administration need to hire a whore when they are clearly nothing but a bunch of whores for the demonic forces in our society themselves?
Not enough Massengill in the world to remove the odor from Harvard...
Because until recently no one called them on looking stupid. The problem is that they are stupid. But everyone looked up to them as the font of that kind of wisdom holding the keys to power that comes with a Harvard degree and especially a guilt edged one labeled summa cum laude showing the highest adherence to the reigning orthodox demonocracy.
That is because the people who run the whole place are frauds or fools but have gotten away with it for so long. You know, sort of like the deepstate elite who run our country. The curtain has been pulled back and you see all the villains who have inherited the levers of power from the ir previously great forbears, who sadly, and this is the condemnation which the world's greatest generation deserve, put no effort into promoting moral and competent people to take over after their departure. They acted as the immortals who need take no care of what came after.
It used to be thought a rather big deal to be Harvard educated. So much for that.
John Harvard is rolling over in his grave....
I wonder how Kareem would do in a real “Stani’ country.
From the heights of education based upon great minds contemplating the eternal questions of history through a sound classical education to a sleazy back alley strip joint.
One of the greatest Icaryan falls in human history.
So much guilt.
Precisely.
Bttt
He can put a “lipstick kiss” on their diplomas.
First thought: the Bee.
At this rate, a Harvard diploma will soon lose its value. It is worse than knowing nothing. It is having everything that you know to be utter gibberish.
I, on the other hand, have found myself more and more thinking that the Bee articles are real.
