  <title><![CDATA[Sci Fi Lab Research Fellows Present at Science Fiction Symposium]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Four Georgia Tech undergraduate students and research fellows in the <a href="https://scifi.lmc.gatech.edu/">Sci Fi Lab</a> served as panelists at the virtual <a href="https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/sciencefictionatcitytech/annual-symposium/">CUNY City Tech Sixth Annual Science Fiction Symposium</a> on Dec. 9, 2021. The panel was titled &ldquo;Accessing the Feminist Science Fiction Archive.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The group included Olivia Kiklica, Jessica Taetle, Josie Benner, and Edeliz Zuleta. Kiklica and Taetle are computational media majors, and Benner and Zuleta&nbsp;are both majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor in science fiction studies. <a href="https://iac.gatech.edu/people/person/lisa-yaszek">Lisa Yaszek</a>, Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, moderated the panel.</p>

<p>During the panel, the group discussed their experience doing primary reading and research for Yaszek&#39;s forthcoming book, <em>The Future is Female 2: The 1970s</em>. Topics covered in their conversation included how they became interested in feminist science fiction, the challenges and rewards of archival research, and how feminist hopes and dreams have&mdash;or have not&mdash;evolved in the past half-century.</p>

<p>A recording of the panel discussion is available on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlLsux41kwI">YouTube</a>.</p>

<p><em>The </em><a href="https://cm.lmc.gatech.edu/"><em>Bachelor of Science in Computational Media</em></a><em> is a collaborative effort by the </em><a href="https://www.cc.gatech.edu/"><em>College of Computing</em></a><em>, the </em><a href="https://www.lmc.gatech.edu/"><em>School of Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC)</em></a><em>, and the </em><a href="https://music.gatech.edu/"><em>School of Music</em></a><em>.

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
