Dear all, Philiminality Cambridge is hosting its first event of the term Saturday 13 October, 15:30-17:00, in the Howard Building Assembly Room, Downing College. The goal is to have an interdisciplinary philosophical discussion concerning notions of gender.
What is drag? How is drag perceived today? What is the relation of music to drag? How can we analyse concepts of gender over time? Can we discuss our concepts of gender within the context of other cultures? Philiminality Cambridge is honoured to have Jacob Mallinson Bird (Dinah Lux) and Alistair Hyde to speak on different aspects of drag today. Both speakers will present, followed by a Q&A. Jacob Mallinson Bird (Dinah Lux) is an academic, drag queen, and model. He is currently a DPhil candidate in Music at the University of Oxford, researching drag lip-sync performance, having completed his undergraduate in Cambridge. When not in the world of high-academia, he has a successful modelling career in and out of drag, having worked in Tokyo, London, and New York. Alistair Hyde is a final year sociology student at the University of Cambridge. He is the president of CUSU LGBT+ and currently completing his dissertation on contemporary LGBT+ reactions to drag. When he's not immersing himself in social theory, you can find him singing in the Downing choir, or Co-Chairing of the Cambridge Universities Labour Club.

We aim to discuss philosophical ideas, thinkers, and approaches which are frequently marginalised in both Anglo-American and “continental” academic circles. We hope to engage with broader horizons of what it means to do philosophy by discussing intersectional perspectives on brands of thought from across the world. We also recognise the value of exploring how philosophical issues interrelate with other disciplines, such as politics, theology, sociology, anthropology, classics, history, psychology, and experimental science. _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
