Dodging the Sisters: Why Queer Nuns Keep Going Viral, with Melissa M. Wilcox

Tuesday, October 15, 5 p.m.

UCSB Henley Hall Lecture Hall

Presented by the Walter H. Capps Center

UC Riverside religious studies professor Melissa M. Wilcox will speak about the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charitable organization that uses drag and religious imagery to engage in activism and street performances. The L.A. Dodgers last year sparked outrage among conservative media outlets when the team announced plans to honor the group at its annual Pride Night.
