Research
At PrideRx, we believe that centring 2SLGBTQ+ voices is essential—not only to address health disparities, but to build trust, shift systems, and create a future where pharmaceutical care is inclusive, affirming, and compassionate for everyone.
Our research centres around teaching, learning, and pharmacy practice, with the hopes of responding to the needs of 2SLGBTQ+ people. By working in collaboration with those directly impacted, we identify gaps, challenge harmful norms, and co-create solutions rooted in lived experience.

Reclaiming RepresentASIAN: How (South)East Asian Drag Queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race Reconfigure Queer Asian Diasporic Subjectivities
Published in the International Journal of Qualitative Studies of Education
Using various theoretical frameworks, we conceptualize Queer Asian Drag Pedagogy (QADP) to contest the racialized and gendered logics that underpin White reductionist narratives of queer Asian representation. Specifically, we analyze the performances of Marina Summers, Nymphia Wind, and Plastique Tiara on RPDR. Our conceptual QADP framework is built upon three tenets: decentralizing Whiteness, embodied kinship through cultural expression, and storying resistance, to dislocate the normative Eurocentric gaze that perpetuates racialized desirability and cultural essentialism that subjugates queer Asian diasporic identities.
