Farm Boys by Will Fellows7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() As Adrian pursues his thesis, he aims to explore the ways in which expressions of non-normative masculinity impact the storylines, romantic opportunities, and treatment of kathoey characters within Thai Boys Love television series, especially compared to cisgender gay male characters within the same series.Īdrian Beyer is a rising senior at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with majors in Women’s and Gender Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and Sociology. Adrian’s main interest is the portrayal of kathoey (a gender and sexual identity unique to Thailand) within Boys Love television series, which focus almost solely on the romantic relationships between cisgender men. Combining his interests of gender/sexuality and Thai language/culture, Adrian is pursuing a dual-department thesis in Women’s and Gender Studies and Southeast Asian Studies. How are individuals with gender and sexual minority identities portrayed in television, and how do those portrayals of marginalized identities impact conceptualizations of gender, sex, and sexuality? These are the broad questions Adrian hopes to explore within his senior thesis. ![]()
