Want to discover whole new avenues for your research, with the possibility of real impact? Want to meet drag artists and discover opportunities you hadn’t even considered before? Want to join the most glamorous academic research network there is?
We’re running our second innovative workshop, with academics and local drag artists, to build the “Law’s a Drag” network further. We’re going to explore how drag can transform our ideas of law and justice, and discover new collaborative research possibilities. You don’t need to come with a fixed idea of how your work might connect with drag artists. Whatever your area - whether you're a specialist in tax, employment, IP, crime, policing, human rights, or even something outside of law – we can help reveal a drag angle that could help take your research in a fascinating new direction!
No paper required. All we need from you is your willingness to work with drag artists in a fun and creative environment, to discover how your research could have impact potential for the drag community.

If you want to join us, email J.R.H.Greenwood-Reeves@leeds.ac.uk by the deadline, 15th December 2023, with the following:
1. Your area(s) of research interest
2. How might your research interest(s) touch upon the life and work of drag performers?
3. Your drag alter ego is asked to close the show at a local bar. What’s your show-stopping finale performance?

Please share widely with your networks – and we’ll see you in the new year!
