- Title
“Academic Drag” and the Performance of the Critical Personae: An Exchange on Sexuality, Politics, and Identity in the Academy.
- Authors
Samek, AlyssaA.; Donofrio, TheresaA.
- Abstract
This article analyzes the process of queering the academy by focusing on the politics and praxis that constitute sexuality's role(s) in academic spaces. We advance our critique through a dialogue to centralize our own identities as we interrogate the treatment of the queer project within the academy. Our analysis reveals a contradiction that hamstrings the advancement of queer rhetorical work in the very locus that should bring new life to the discipline: the graduate classroom.
