About the Event:
The 7th Annual City Tech Science Fiction Symposium was held on Tuesday, Dec. 6. The theme for this year is “Science Fiction and the Archive.” Its participants discussed what an archive or special collection means for SF as well as other questions about what SF deserves to be included in the archive, are there models for archives in SF, and who gets to make decisions about what SF should be valued, protected, and shared. The event featured a keynote address by Jeremy Brett, curator of Texas A&M’s Science Fiction & Fantasy Research Collection; a writers discussion panel of authors published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine; the presentation of the Analog Emerging Black Writer Award; a panel discussion between faculty at City Tech and the Georgia Institute of Technology, a panel discussion with Georgia Tech undergraduate research students recovering Black SF from historical Black newspapers, and paper presentations from scholars in the United States, Australia, and China.
