ForgottenSF Conference call for papers

Patrick Brock, Regina Kanyu Wang and I are also coordinating a stream on “Global Speculations.” This stream invites contributions focused on phenomena variously known as Co-Futurisms, Indigenous Futurisms, or various regional traditions of speculation (e.g., Afrofuturism, Arabfuturisms, Asia Futurisms, etc.). We especially encourage and seek presentations on less known and under-researched texts and artists. This conference may be of interest to those working on speculative fiction/arts/media. One of the keynote speakers will be Sherryl Vint!

There are 5 other streams in the conference. Check out the CfP details here: https://forgottensf.wordpress.com/call-for-paper/
