June 20, 2023 | Texas
Texas Christian University offered a “Queer Art of Drag” course for the spring 2023 semester that required students create “drag personas” and give a performance.
The course was offered by the school’s Women and Gender Studies department and was taught by Dr. Nino Testa, also known by his drag persona “Maria Von Clapp.”
According to the syllabus, students enrolled in the course had to create a drag persona by making a “drag vision board,” a bibliography, a “worksheet,” an “in-class lip-sync performance,” a “storyboard” and a final performance. (Excerpt from NEWSMAX.)
