W11: Queer feelings

Week 11: Queer feelings
Queer feelings - how are feelings queer? How do mental health, happiness scripts, and suicidality connect to queerness and systems of oppression? What roles do community play? This week we were joined by Professor Kareem Kubchandani, a Tufts professor in the department of drama and dance who shared about his work on Southeast Asian queer drag experiences.
