CONVENTION THEME:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiverse Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention was formed from our belief that great stories don\u2019t only come from the books and comics we love to read. Each\u00a0fan<\/em>\u00a0is their own universe as well, with their\u00a0own<\/em>\u00a0unique story to tell. Added together, these infinite stories create the Multiverse of modern fandom.<\/p>\n

This Multiverse also informs the creation of works of speculative fiction, a body of work encompassing every imaginable academic field. In this light, we seek to create a multidisciplinary academic program that will showcase the innumerable ways speculative fiction is inspired by various branches of academia.<\/p>\n

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiverse Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention is seeking academic presentations of 15, 25, and (a limited number) 45 minutes in length for the 2021 convention. While we require presentations to reflect rigorous academic scholarship, we are\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0requesting conference paper readings. Presentations only, please.<\/p>\n

We are seeking presentations that approach an academic topic in a way that non-academic audiences will find accessible and entertaining. Ideally, presentations will incorporate a core theme or topic of interest to speculative fiction fans.<\/p>\n

Example topics may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
