MONDAY, APRIL 23, 2018 tuftsdaily.com Tufts Democrats petition Board of Trustees to rescind Eric Greitens’ honorary degree over sexual assault allegations by Austin Clementi Staff Writer Content Warning: This article contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault. Tufts Democrats released a peti- tion last week calling on the university to rescind an honorary degree given to Missouri Governor Eric Greitens in 2012 in response to recent allegations of sexual assault against him. The peti- tion also called on Greitens to resign. Greitens also spoke at Tufts’ com- mencement in 2012, receiving a doctor of humane letters at the ceremony. The Board of Trustees website states that hon- orary degree recipients are recommend- ed by members of the Tufts community to the Honorary Degree Committee with- in the Board of Trustees, which reviews nominations and recommends candi- dates to be voted on by the entire board. The allegations against Greitens, which KMOV-4 St. Louis first reported on as an extramarital affair in January, refer to events during the 2016 gubernatorial election season in Missouri. Misha Linnehan, president of the Tufts Democrats, described the nature of these allegations. “He was accused of sexually assault- ing his hairdresser, locking her in his COURTESY WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Eric Greitens speaks to the corps of cadets at the 22nd Annual Ethics Forum Friday, March 25, 2011, in Leamy Auditorium at the U.S. Coast see GREITENS, page 2 Guard Academy in New London, Conn.

  • Super Bowl Advertisers Embrace Diversity
    SUPER BOWL ADVERTISERS EMBRACE DIVERSITY... CAUTIOUSLY Big Game marketers look to better represent women and minorities without offending anyone By Jeanine Poggi This year’s crop of Super Bowl commercials will feature two drag queens, an all-female cast, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, and a “Queer Eye” guy. It's a step in better representing modern society by casting more diverse ethnicities, lifestyles and cultural perspectives in the Big Game.

Postfeminist Hegemony in a Precarious World: Lessons in Neoliberal Survival from RuPaul’s Drag Race By Phoebe Chetwynd1 Abstract The popularity of the reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race is often framed as evidence of Western societies’ increasing tolerance towards queer identities. This paper instead considers the ideological cost of this mainstream success, arguing that the show does not successfully challenge dominant heteronormative values. In light of Rosalind Gill’s work on postfeminism, it will be argued that the show’s format calls upon contestants (and viewers) to conform to a postfeminist ideal that valorises normative femininity and reaffirms the gender binary.

  • Drag Queens During Super Bowl
    Urgent Message From One Million Moms: Drag queens to make historical debut during Super Bowl LIV The NFL and Fox are set to make history this year by airing a Super Bowl ad that features drag queens. It’s will be the first commercial of its kind in Super Bowl history, and One Million Moms is asking that it be removed from the advertising lineup immediately. An ad promoting drag queens is not what we had in mind when urging the NFL to keep the Super Bowl LIV commercials and halftime entertainment family-friendly. The Sabra Hummus ad features drag queens Kim Chi and Miz Cracker, former contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race. One is snacking on hummus while the other is trying to fit a football helmet over his perfectly teased hair without causing helmet hair. The tagline: “Hair We Go 02.02.20.” Sabra Dipping Company LLC is choosing to push an agenda of sexual confusion instead of promoting its actual product. The PC-inclusive ad blurs the biological distinctions between male and female. Normalizing this lifestyle is contrary to what conservative, Christian parents are teaching their children about God’s design for sexuality. Thanks Sabra! Now parents have to explain to their confused children! The NFL has not been very adept at dealing with controversies, and this year is no different. Please sign our petition to the NFL and FOX requesting Super Bowl LIV be kept suitable for all ages, since children will also be watching the game this Sunday, Feb. 2. To Take Action, sign the petition to the NFL and FOX urging the Sabra Hummus drag queen advertisement be canceled and removed from the Super Bowl commercial lineup immediately.

(2018). RuPaul's Drag Race is still figuring out how to handle gender and race. The onC versation, 28 June 1-5. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] RuPaul's Drag Race is still figuring out how to handle gender and race Abstract For a reality TV show about a queer subculture, RuPaul's Drag Race has achieved extraordinary success. In the show, which winds up another series this Friday, drag queens compete to be named "America's Next Drag Superstar". Across 13 seasons (including three of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars) it has graduated from niche programming on the LGBT cable station Logo to a mainstream, award-winning hit on the widely viewed VH1. In Australia, the show streams on Stan and is often highlighted as a drawcard in its ad campaigns. The show's wit and glamour go some way to explaining this success. Just as important, however, is the way in which Drag Race acts as a small-screen reflection of big issues happening in the wider world. Race, sex and religion are all front and centre. And the show is a real-time representation of current struggles over gender performance and identity. Yet paradoxically, Drag Race is both an agent and subject of this disruptive gender moment.

  • The Trouble with “Queerness”: Drag and the Making of Two Cultures by Katie Rebecca Horowitz a Dissertation Submitted in Part
    The Trouble with “Queerness”: Drag and the Making of Two Cultures By Katie Rebecca Horowitz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Linda Williams, Chair Professor Catherine Cole Professor Judith Butler Fall 2012 Abstract The Trouble with “Queerness”: Drag and the Making of Two Cultures by Katie Rebecca Horowitz Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Linda Williams, Chair This dissertation responds to the frequent charge within academic and activist circles that queer theory is simply gay male theory cloaked in more inclusive language. Taking as its starting point an ethnographic case study of drag king and queen performance cultures, it challenges the efficaciousness of an everything and the kitchen sink approach to queer theorizing and organizing. This work constitutes the first academic monograph centered on queer life in Cleveland, Ohio and is also the first to focus simultaneously on kinging and queening, a lacuna at once explained by and demanding interrogation of the fact that these practices have almost nothing in common with each other. Despite the shared heading of drag, these iconically queer institutions overlap little with respect to audience, movement vocabulary, stage persona, and treatment of gender, class, race, and sexuality. The radical (in)difference between these genres serves as a microcosmic representation of the perennial rift between lesbians and gay men and highlights the heteronormativity of the assumption that all of the identity categories subsumed under (and often eclipsed by) the queer umbrella ought a priori to have anything in common culturally, politically, or otherwise.
