Centre for Science Fiction and Fantasy

Description

The study of science fiction and fantasy is now over 75 years old. Although historically it was focused in English departments, in the past twenty years this has changed and strong work is emerging in film, television, art, and linguistics groups.

The Centre for Science Fiction and Fantasy connects several major strengths within Anglia Ruskin University - writing, publishing, linguistics alongside literary criticism - and places them within this wider interdisciplinary context. It is comprised of staff members, associate lecturers and postgraduate and undergraduate students along with other academics, authors, editors, and members of the book publishing industry.

The Centre's aim is to explore science fiction and fantasy as products that depend on the interaction of literary and visual media and that are constructed by both the publishing industry and and fan communities.
