Session Description:
Join us the final Friday of each month for our Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Speaker Series at Yorkville University and Toronto Film School!
For January 2024, our own Dr. Tommy Mayberry (see bio above) will share their research from their award-winning chapter that explores visual pedagogies through a sincere and earnest look at their life as an academic drag queen – a life that is congruent of academic and drag cultures, of traditional teaching and dragged-up pedagogies. In addition to screening their (unfortunately unsuccessful) audition tape for the 5th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race in this session, Tommy will build upon this early autoethnographic foray of theirs into visual pedagogies and into teaching in drag to bring together and share an overview of the constellation of frameworks, theories, and ideas (from transgender visuality, through queer phenomenology, and to visual performance) that positions themself in their scholarship as a social justice leader with an anti-imperialist inclusive pedagogy and practice.
