Professor Kadji Amin will deliver the Fourteenth Annual Sedgwick Lecture at Boston University on April 14, 2026. Titled “Queens of Stigma: Trans Queens and the Class Project of Queer Theory,” Dr. Amin’s talk “puts queer theoretical work on shame into conversation with Esther Newton’s foundational Mother Camp and [Amin’s] own research on the oral histories of queens of the 1960s and 1970s to argue that the undisputed twentieth-century queer icon of shame-creativity was the queen.”
