If gender isn’t binary, neither is drag : an analysis of drag, progressiveness, and activism [PDF]
, 2022 This thesis seeks to analyze and challenge how drag, and those who perform it, are generally conceived of in much of the scholarship, as well as argue for a more nuanced view of drag that challenges binaries of gender, morality, and potential for social ...
