Dr. Khaliden Nas | PhD
Alsopurple
Referential is hosted & produced by Dr. Khaliden Nas to have serious conversations about frivolous topics!
Each episode takes you on an academically informed deep dive into pop culture and media that never skips out on a stupid joke. Subscribe & join Dr. Khaliden Nas (and the occasional guest!) as we dive into conversations about identity, representation, Blackness, queerness (and so much more) across the cultures that we make; and the cultures that make us.

Dr. Khaliden Nas (he/they) is a writer & researcher with a PhD in Media and Culture Studies from the University of Sussex. My work explores the realities of queer subjectivity, identity, self-conception, otherness and the intersections of culture and identity - with a particular focus on the topics of Arabness and same-sex desire.
More broadly, my work is interested in (and engages with) the discourses of:
Race & Ethnicity
Sexuality
Gender
Media & Popular Culture
Community & the Online
I also write (and write about) comics!
