Queer Film Series
Join the Mathematics Equity Office for their monthly Queer Film Series screening of Pariah. Reviewers describe Pariah as a powerful coming-of-age story about Alike, a Brooklyn teenager, as she navigates her identity while balancing family expectations and personal expression. Through Alike's journey, Pariah highlights the intersectionality of race, gender, and sexual identity, offering a nuanced portrayal of the struggles and triumphs that come with embracing one's true self.
