Drag is an art form with a rich history of challenging dominant norms and systems of oppression; building queer community; and cultivating experiences of queer joy in a hostile world; but drag has also been deployed in service of violent ideologies and can sometimes participate in harmful normative logics. Critical drag explores drag performance as an outlet for social critique, pedagogy, and queer world making.
The Department of Women & Gender Studies, in collaboration with community partners at the Gender Resource Office, The End, Spectrum, Westside Unitarian Church, local drag performers, and LGBTQ organizations in Fort Worth, has produced a series of opportunities to develop campus vocabulary and understanding of drag history and practice.
This page contains scholarship, performances, and articles about 1.) the history of drag 2.) drag at TCU and 3.) resources for those who want to develop their own critical drag personas.

If someone wants to be a drag queen, get a bus ticket to Greenwich village, NYC, and get an "education" basically for free, and you will save thousands in student debt.
No.
It's an expression of mental, moral, and spiritual derangement and perversion.
“......in harmful normative logics.”
Lol. Psychobabble.

I approve of “Piss Drag”. A drag performer in a giant clear bottle of piss. On display in a museum for all to see. Art.
oppressed? hell, trans is the new global super-state religion
How obsessively interested in this trash topic does one have to be, to be able to dredge up this kind of smut with which to besmirch FR’s forums?
Actors in all plays in ancient Greece were exclusively male.
Female characters? Why, played by men of course.
Granted ancient Greece had its share of deviant, effeminate men behaving horrifically. But presumably it wasn’t as if those types managed on any given year to overrun Athens’ version of the Tony Awards.
Caricaturing women, AKA drag, is an art form, not unlike blackface. Selective definitions. Now “art” is the latest term the left wants to destroy.
Ironic they performed as women, but not their preferred sex partners, sheep.
I keep asking why drag and related transism are not condemned as gender appropriation, exactly as blackface or (falsely) dreadlocks are condemed as racial appropriation.
Ignoring the content, the article seems to have been written by a sophomore wannabee in a particularly trite stab at academese.
It’s because “the (insert noun here; truth, racism, etc) is whatever we want it to be”
