Science Fiction Panels at Summer SFRA

[eric r laursen]

The Conference of the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA) is meeting in Detroit, June 28-July1. Their theme this year is "Urban Apocalypse, Urban Renaissance: Landscapes in Science Fiction and Fantasy." I attended summer before last and had a wonderful experience, and I think it would be a great idea to create a Slavics presence at the conference in summer 2012.

I'm putting together panels on Russian and Slavic Science fiction for the conference.  I already have four presenters, but I'd like to have more--at least two panels and with luck three.  I'm collecting the titles and abstracts and will submit them as a group.  The deadline is in April, but if you're interested let me know as soon as possible.  Check out the call for papers and the SFRA website:
