Description

The Speculative Fiction Reading Group examines novels in this "umbrella" genre which most clearly contains fantasy and science fiction but is also home to any text that engages in significant world-building. Meeting every other week, we engage in discussions about the critical commentary generated about our own world through these speculative ones. We're also highly concerned with how the genre is both limited and enhanced by subtle--and sometimes overt--references to other works within its boundaries. Readings are selected each semester by popular vote; graduate students and faculty from all disciplines are invited to attend.
