Alys Weinbaum gave an intriguing lecture on the political, social, and affective affordances of a sub-genre of speculative fiction that she calls ‘Reproductive Dystopia.’ To illustrate what she means by that, the literary scholar focused on Rivers Solomon's novella 'The Deep.'

💡 We look back on a rich academic and cultural program. Beyond many intriguing talks by the participants and faculty members, a city tour through #Montreal, a picnic at Mont Royal, and an excursion to Kahnawá:ke gave participants the opportunity to get to know some parts of the city and its vicinity
