This summer, I'm offering a class on social justice themes in sci-fi for Hugo House!
Here's the course description: Beneath the dazzling spectacle of sci-fi lies fascinating ethical questions about humanity—questions about how society treats the mutant, alien, or cyborg "other," about whether technology causes or eliminates suffering, or about the origins of oppressive dystopian societies. In this generative writing course, we'll read sci-fi writers of diverse identities and informally freewrite our own work in response. Through the lenses of feminist and queer theory, Afrofuturism, disability rights, and more, we'll explore how sci-fi helps us imagine better futures.
The class meets on Tuesdays from 8:10-10:10 p.m. Mountain time, Aug. 8-29.
Registration opens for Hugo House members on June 6, with general registration to follow. on June 13. Scholarships are available here, and you can learn more about the class here.
