The goal of this reading and discussion series will be to engage the campus community with speculative fiction that imagines hopeful futures around issues of food justice and social justice via a series of brown bag discussions.
This program will present the campus community with selected readings that imagine people and communities of the future working to solve many of the present day’s biggest social and ecological challenges. The readings will include pieces of short fiction that are available to read online for free. Participants may read as many or as few of the selected readings as they wish in advance of each of the monthly brown-bag discussion sessions.
The program will include three brown-bag meetings, one each in February, March, and April. At each session, participants will discuss readings from that month’s list and brainstorm ways they and their communities might turn these imagined futures into concrete, present-day action.
