Speculative Fiction Workshop

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

There are many modes of fiction that can address issues of social justice beyond the realistic. In this course students will engage with fiction as a mode for creating expanded imaginaries that address pressing social problems and inequalities in our society. They will consider how fiction is a means of world creation, including the futuristic, fantastic and dystopic, and explore how fiction is a mode for entering the perspectives of others, sometimes those radically not like us.
