The “camptopia” experience
This article examines how media representations construct a positive vision of “camptopias”: our term for alternative sleepaway camps for youth with culturally marginalized identities (disabilities, queer sexualities or genders, minority religions/ethnicities, etc.).

RuPaul realness
This article investigates the semiotic phenomenon of “realness,” specifically its meaning and usage in the US ballroom scene versus popular media texts including RuPaul’s Drag Race and extending to entertainment and social media.

Drag discourse pervades the coverage of female-identified menswear models Elliott Sailors and Casey Legler, and female-identified pop stars Lady Gaga and Beyoncé Knowles. I first investigate why media texts use drag as descrip…
