Irish drag queen and gay rights activist Panti Bliss first made headlines in January 2014, when she called out several media stars for being homophobic. Shortly after, Emer O’Toole, assistant professor in the School of Canadian Irish Studies, invited Bliss to Concordia to speak about her experiences and activism.

During this visit, Bliss will join O’Toole on stage to discuss how what we wear can reflect much more than personal style and fashion.

Free admission; general seating
