About this programme
Are you interested in how dystopian fiction can be a fruitful prism through which to reflect on some of the most pressing issues that we face today? Have you watched or read the Handmaid’s Tale and longed for a forum in which to discuss how the story and its many lessons speak to and or about present-day political developments, such as changing gender relations, the rise of religious fundamentalism and totalitarianism, climate change, persistent racism and coloniality, the politics of immigration, political violence, and popular resistance?
