Harvard University has reportedly hired a drag queen with the stage name LaWhore Vagistan as a visiting professor for the upcoming semester.

Kareem Khubchandani, better known as LaWhore Vagistan, will start teaching drag-related classes in 2026, according to a message sent from Harvard to the college community in July that was obtained by the New York Post.

Khubchandani explained the origins of his strange alter-ego in an interview published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2015.

“My name is LaWhore Vagistan, my preferred pronouns are ‘she’ or ‘aunty.’ I chose ‘LaWhore’ because my family traces its origins to Pakistan: Lahore is an important city in Pakistan, and well, I’m a bit of a w*ore,” the drag queen said. “And Vagistan because I see the subcontinent as one, big, beautiful Vag … istan.”

Khubchandani is expected to lecture while in his drag persona. Both of “Vagistan’s” classes fall under the “Women, Gender & Sexuality” curriculum.

In the spring semester of 2026, Khubchandani will teach a class titled “RuPaulitics: Drag, Race, and Desire.” The subject is based on the television show “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” a reality show in which a group of drag queens compete to impress the host, RuPaul, for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” The show originally aired in 2009 and currently has 17 seasons.

Harvard’s description for the class says that it will “include performance-based exercises, attendance at local drag shows, and visits from various artists to immerse students in the embodied politics of drag.”

In the fall semester, Harvard will offer another course taught by Professor Vagistan called “Queer Ethnography.”

“Ethnographic studies of gender and sexual dissidents—gay neighborhoods, trans raves, sex work, lesbian parties, BDSM dungeons, AIDS activism—require careful (re)considerations of anonymity, sensationalization, reciprocity, space, identity, and labor,” the school’s class description reads.

“This class introduces students in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies to ethnographic research methods as they pertain to exploring questions of bodies, pleasure, power, and desire,” said Harvard.

The new professor has also authored books called “Decolonize Drag (Decolonize That!)”, “Lessons in Drag: A Queer Manual for Academics, Artists, and Aunties” and “Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife.”
