  • SLF Portolan Project Interview with Nalo Hopkinson, Andrea Hairston, and Sheree Renée Thomas Los Angeles, California, 2019
    SLF Portolan Project Interview with Nalo Hopkinson, Andrea Hairston, and Sheree Renée Thomas Los Angeles, California, 2019 Mary Anne Mohanraj: Hi everybody, this is Mary Anne Mohanraj, and I'm here at the World Fantasy Convention 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm here with Nalo Hopkinson, Andrea Hairston, and Sheree Renée Thomas, really delighted to be interviewing them for the SLF. So, I thought we would start with how I first got to know all of you and your work. I think the first one was Nalo Hopkinson. I met Nalo at WisCon, it would have been, I want to say around 1997-98, when WisCon was making a real effort to do outreach to people of color, and they had actually invited me to come, and I was a starving grad student at the time, and said I couldn't possibly fly from California all the way to Madison. And they had covered my expenses to attend the convention. And I got there, and there were five people of color, at the seven – Andrea Hairston: That was a good year. [laughter] ​ Mary Anne Mohanraj: Yeah, at the 700-something person convention. So they had an issue, which they were trying to address. And Nalo was one of them. Does that match up with your memory? And, I don't know, was that your first WisCon as well, or? Nalo Hopkinson: My first WisCon was right after Clarion, and I did Clarion in ‘95, so it was probably a few years before. Mary Anne Mohanraj: A little before, then. Nalo Hopkinson: I think I knew who you were before then.

Undergraduate Honors Theses. Paper 1200. https://scholarworks.wm.edu/honorstheses/1200 This Honors Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Theses, Dissertations, & Master Projects at W&M ScholarWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Undergraduate Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of W&M ScholarWorks. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Edwards-Thro 1 One possible translation of this project’s title is “this is not a single story.” In addition to myself, eleven Haitian and Haitian-American authors contributed words to this work in the form of short Afrofuturist fiction stories that they wrote and edited over the course of six months. The process began with two weekend workshops, one in Miami and the other in Port-au-Prince, in which we gathered to discuss genre, view movie clips, and review readings. While they went on to write their pieces as individuals, writers continued to collaborate by commenting on each other’s rough drafts and reviewing each other’s submissions as a committee. We kept in touch with one another through a groupchat, Facebook group, and email, and I was able to visit Port- au-Prince a second time to meet in person with some of the writers for a final review of the project stories.

  • Co-Winner of the 2012 James Tiptree, Jr. Award Praise
    Co-Winner of the 2012 James Tiptree, Jr. Award “In Ancient, Ancient, Kiini Ibura Salaam’s startling stories combine science fiction, fantasy, and mythology in a sensuous exploration of what it means to live while struggling to define self and other. Salaam’s language is poetic and sensuous — a unique and original voice. The stories are ambitious and challenging, demonstrating ex- cellent range in both storytelling style and imagery, from the mundane to the fully fantastical. Salaam is particu- larly interested in agency in oppressive social realities and explores how oppression works on our gendered bodies.” —Tiptree Award announcement Praise for Ancient, Ancient “The world as Salaam paints it is full of harsh and beautiful things: she insists that we must venture into dark places to emerge as who we are meant to be. The best of her work is imbued with subtle interventions which ul- timately provide the reader with sharply felt revelations, the secrets within the text that we must each decipher in- dependently and which speak to each other to reveal a larger project. The stories work from mutual touchstones: the illustration of sex as an act of power; a visceral rela- tionship to the human body as a mode of currency as well as a site of rebellion; and the examination of the struggle to find oneself, particularly as a woman, in a world that offers so few options. Few writers pay such focused atten- tion to a specific set of ideas and concerns, and this ac- complished collection provides a vigorous exploration into Salaam's unique vision.” —Richard Larson, Strange Horizons, October 5, 2012 “The ancient mysteries of life hold in their grasp the power of seduction.

  • 1 Dipesh Chakrabarty Lectures on Global Change, the Anthropocene
    Dipesh Chakrabarty lectures on global change, the anthropocene, humanities at Brandeis – 2017-01-23 16:26 1 D. Haraway's "Teddy Bear Patriarchy" - 2017-02-06 16:21 Haraway, Donna. “Teddy Bear Patriarchy: Taxidermy in the Garden of Eden, New York City, 1908-1936.” Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Sciences, Routledge, 1989, pp. 26-58. In “Teddy Bear Patriarchy” Haraway looks at the planning and construction of the African Hall in the American Museum of Natural History in order to discover the hidden histories of race, class, and gender in the 1920s and 30s that influenced the form this exhibit took. Following the biography of Carl Akeley, the “mastermind” behind the exhibit, Haraway examines the ways in which the general social anxiety regarding new threats to white masculinity (such as immigration, new technologies, and capitalism) informed the ultimate purpose of the museum exhibit: to preserve the moment of encounter between man and mammal (using realist techniques in taxidermy, photography, and painting) and thus guide the museum visitor on a journey to manhood. This project depended on the idea that a certain “type” (white, male, Protestant) represented the perfect specimen within the social hierarchy, an attitude that informed Akeley’s search for perfect “types” of organisms to be displayed in the museum, which in an example of circular reasoning justified the social hierarchy of human beings as “natural.” This project of knowledge-making also meant that the contributions of women and Africans were ignored or belittled, which creates the illusion that white men are the seekers and preservers of knowledge while women and Africans—as the objects of their gaze—could only be the objects of scientific discourse instead of authors in their own right.
