The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction is the first large-scale reference work of its kind critically assessing the relations of gender and genre in science fiction (SF) especially—but not exclusively—as explored in speculative art by women and LGBTQ+ artists across the world. This global volume builds upon the traditions of interdisciplinary inquiry by connecting established topics in gender studies and science fiction studies with emergent ideas from researchers in different media. Taken together they challenge conventional generic boundaries; provide new ways of approaching familiar texts; recover lost artists and introduce new ones; connect the revival of old hate-based politics with the increasing visibility of imagined futures for all; and show how SF stories about new kinds of gender relations inspire new models of artistic technoscientific and political practice. Their chapters are grouped into five conversations—about the history of gender and genre theoretical frameworks subjectivities medias and transmedialities and transtemporalities—that are central to discussions of gender and SF in the current moment. A range of both emerging and established names in media literature and cultural studies engage with a huge diversity of topics including eco-criticism animal studies cyborg and posthumanist theory masculinity critical race studies Indigenous futurisms Black girlhood and gaming. This is an essential resource for students and scholars studying gender sexuality and/or science fiction.

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

Co-published with Colleges and universities are increasingly becoming significant sites for adult education scholarship—in large part due to demographic shifts. With fewer U. S. high school graduates on the horizon higher education institutions will need to attract “non-traditional” (i. e. older) adult learners to remain viable both financially and politically. There is a need to develop a better corpus of scholarship on topics as diverse as what learning theories are useful for understanding adult learning? How are higher education institutions changing in response to the surge of adult students? What academic programs are providing better learning and employment outcomes for adults in college? Adult education scholars can offer much to the policy debates taking place in higher education.

The Handbook is divided into five sections. The first Foundations situates the field by describing the developments core debates perspectives and key principles that form the basis of the field.
