Thinking Through Queer

​A guided philosophy discussion on queerness with Jay Mimes and Dr. Ece Tekbulut.

​What does it mean to live queerly? What does it take to do so everyday? What are its risks and rewards? What happens when we think of queerness not only as an identity to claim or a category to fit into, but as a form of engaging with the world. What does this expansion make possible?

​In this session of Thinking Through, we will explore queer existence as an othered identity, a daily practice, and a form of future imagination, through prompts and shared reflection.

​🍷 A complimentary drink of your choice will be provided.
