Queer theory seeks not only to interrogate issues of sexuality and gender, but also issues of class, race, ability, health, and identity. Horror offers the perfect genre to frame these discussions in a way that allows for creative self-expression, emotional release, and finding community. Come join an expanded panel of creators to discuss how horror is changing the landscape of theory. This event will feature cast and crew members from The White Vault and Unwell podcasts, the University of Pittsburgh's Welcomed by Design podcast, and members of the Horror Studies Working Group in a lively and informative discussion about horror as a force for change and transformation.
