Hello everyone!

We are excited to share that our symposium presentation, titled “Drag as Performance, Therapy, Activism, and Personal Expression: What Older Drag Artists Teach Us,” was accepted as part of the 2024 annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America!

Consisting of four individual paper presentations, our symposium includes disciplinary representation of scholarship on older drag artists’ lived experiences. We include policy analyses of anti-trans initiatives, social science and humanities approaches to feminist, gender, and queer theory, behavioral science on individual well-being and fortitude, and practice, specifically, drama therapy.

The date of our presentation is to be announced. Registration for the 2024 Gerontological Society of America (GSA) Conference (Nov. 13-16) is open now.
