Futurian Masculinity

Recently joined UUCL member and K.U. Ph.D. candidate, Brenna Pritchard, will present the highlights of her dissertation on Futurian Masculinity. It is an examination of science fiction fandom as a masculine gendered space. She will trace the history of science fiction as a genre, then dive into the way that male science fiction fans built their identity and carved out a place for themselves using science fiction as a model and guide.
