Decolonizing SFF

  • Hyatt Regency Hotel, Regency Ballroom D 151 East Wacker Drive Chicago, IL, 60601 United States (map)

(with Claire Light/Jadie Jang, Jenna Hanchey, Michael Green Jr. (moderator), and Sarah T. Guan)

Science fiction and fantasy have a lot of bedrock colonial assumptions and strategies that need to be dug up, re-examined, and tossed out. What does decolonial SFF look like? We'll talk about the tropes and publishing realities that need to be looked at critically and enthuse about our favorite writers and works that are combating the status quo within speculative fiction, as well as those that are striking off in new directions.
