Saad’s research explores queer politics, illegibility, desire, kinship, and activism in Bangladesh, challenging linear ideas of visibility, progress, and political success while tracing the complex ways LGBTQ communities endure, organize, and imagine otherwise.

⏰ 5:30–6:00 p.m.
📍 Padelford Hall B110G

Please join us in supporting Saad and celebrating this important milestone!
