Samuel R. Delany has emphasized that science fiction gives us images not OF but FOR our futures; its power lies not in prediction but in manifestation. Extending this idea to speculative literature more broadly—and rejecting the notion that spec-lit is merely formulaic or escapist—what can we learn from its radical visions and thought experiments to help us contend with bigotry and existential threats? In this generative seminar, we'll discuss the pleasures and challenges of queer(ing) speculative writing; explore how to center historically marginalized images and imaginations; and dare to write toward a multiplicity of inclusive futures.
