Very excitingly, my academic article ‘Radically Hopeful Dystopian Climate Fiction: Exploring Social Dreaming, Temporal Re-Sensitisation, and Katharsis in Jeff VanderMeer’s Borne‘ has been published in Wild Possibilities, a special edition of Comparative American Studies. It’s open access and therefore free to read, so if you’re interested in how we tell stories about climate change, and the ways we can reinvent our structures of courage, honour, and hope in the age of climate crisis, give it a read right here!
I’m particularly excited that this article is seeing the light of day because it was a chapter of my PhD. Theses don’t always have happy afterlives, so having this article is out in the world for people to read helps make that journey even more meaningful for me. Massive gratitude to the editors and peer reviewers for seeing value in my work.
