Speculative
Futures

An Australian Research Council funded DECRA grant held by A/Prof Sarah E. Truman. The project (December 2022 - December 2025) focuses on speculative fiction as an interdisciplinary method for thinking about the world and mode of literary engagement in diverse pedagogical settings.

Speculative Futures:

  • foregrounds youth speculative fiction writing in three geographies (Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom);

  • features writings by transdisciplinary scholars who use speculative fiction to think about their own research;

  • provides a literature review of speculative fiction (see below) on the project's themes based on participants' suggestions.
