Future Voices of Scottish SFF: Change and the Future in SFF worlds

Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic, University of Glasgow

Join us and five amazing science fiction and fantasy creatives for a roundtable on the representation of change and the future in SFF!

We are delighted to invite you to the second event of the AHRC-funded "Future Voices of Scottish Science Fiction and Fantasy Network".The network privileges under-represented Scottish voices of Science Fiction and Fantasy (SFF) working across different media (literature, gaming, film, art), with an emphasis on BAME and LGBTQ+ communities as well as practitioners with disabilities. In these dramatic times, we ask how creative practitioners imagine future worlds and respond to rapidly-changing global circumstances (e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic), concerns and anxieties (e.g. as expressed in the #MeToo or #BlackLivesMatter movements) through SFF writing/art/creativity.

This event will focus on:Representation of Change and the Future in SFF Worlds and NarrativesResearch question: How does SFF engage with the future as a time when inequalities may be altered or improved, or a space to imagine the worst if inequalities are allowed to continue?We are delighted to welcome contributors Jon McKellan, Kirsty Logan, Tanya Roberts, Lorraine Wilson, and Post Coal Prom Queen&#x27;s Lily Higham. Dr Taylor Driggers will be the academic respondent for this event.The event will take part via Zoom webinar.Y﻿ou can find more details about the network in <a href="https://futurescottishsff.glasgow.ac.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">our website</a>Participants&#x27; bios and other details can be found <a href="https://futurescottishsff.glasgow.ac.uk/index.php/events/7-december-2022-change-and-the-future/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
