Science Fiction Symposium

Location: Rivera Library Special Collection Reading Room, 4th floor
Parking Information
Category: Colloquium
Description:
The University of California at Riverside (UCR) is one of the very few universities in the world to have a major library archive in science fiction (SF) and a substantial cohort of researchers, writers, and teachers whose work engages with SF and technoculture studies. Since our goal is to establish a degree program in the field, this one-day Symposium is geared to address issues relevant to graduate- and undergraduate-level research and teaching in SF and technoculture. Our hope is that ideas seeded at this event will find fruition in future academic initiatives at UCR.
Â
The Symposium is free and open to the public. A buffet lunch will be served between the first and second panels. This event is sponsored by the Chancellor’s Strategic Investment Fund. For more information, please contact Rob Latham, Professor of English, UCR, at
