MLA 2021 Special Session: “The Final Frontier: Space, Race, and Survival in Speculative Fiction”

Deadline: March 15, 2020
Contact: Smaran Dayal
Email: sd3188@nyu.edu

This panel will investigate space exploration in speculative literatures. We particularly welcome papers that consider rhetorics of survivalism, racial supremacy, colonization, and/or ecocide that have informed speculative imaginations of space travel and planetary conquest.

Please submit abstracts (~250 words) and CVs to Tyler Harper (New York University) at tyler.harper569@gmail.com and Smaran Dayal (New York University) at sd3188@nyu.edu.
