Roundtable Readings
Regular attendees and careful perusers of the online program will know that each year we schedule a couple of roundtable discussions focused on particular readings. This year, the SF division is hosting a roundtable discussion of an article in Science Fiction Studies by Wendy Pearson, who will also be in attendance. The CC division (the new Communities and Cultures of the Fantastic Division, formerly part of the PCVA division) is sponsoring a discussion of two articles on gender issues in fandom cultures.
Following the usual practice, we have made these readings available prior to the conference so that anyone wishing to attend and participate can read the articles in time to formulate comments and questions. If you surf on over to the main webpage (www.iafa.org) and scroll down the page, you'll find a link to the roundtable readings. Click on that link and you'll be able to click on pdf copies of the CC readings or click on a link that will take you to the SFS site for a copy of the Pearson article (we'd like to thank Art Evans and Veronica Hollinger of SFS for allowing us to link to their site).
Thanks to Len for doing the uploading and linking, and to Barb Lucas and Sherryl Vint for co-ordinating availability of the articles.
