Join Olivia Clare Friedman, M.O. Walsh, and Brannon Costello forr a lively and illuminating panel discussion on teaching and writing about the speculative South. How do writers draw upon the conventions of literary and popular genres such as dystopian fiction, magical realism, postapocalyptic fiction, and superhero comics to imagine alternative futures for the South? Is there a tradition of speculative southern fiction?  And how can speculating about the South’s future help us to see its present more clearly?
