Event Details
In this lecture and writing workshop, audiences will learn a brief history and definitions of speculative fiction—an umbrella term that encompasses the genres of science fiction, fantasy, space opera, supernatural, horror, etc. We’ll then engage in writing exercises to give participants an opportunity to write in the genre, starting with a warm-up prompt before tackling questions about how issues like climate change, genetic manipulation, or artificial intelligence might affect them in the decades to come.
This program is made possible by Humanities Washington’s Speakers Bureau—"Fascinating talks by fascinating people." For more information visit https://www.humanities.org/program/speakers-bureau/.
