<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">We cordially invite you to participate in the Eaton Symposium on Speculative Fiction, which will be held in-person at the University of California, Riverside
on May 24th, 2024. <b><u>Graduate and undergraduate students</u> are encouraged to submit abstracts for a one-day symposium on speculative fiction and the archive</b>, where they can share and engage in conversation about their work, and gain conference experience.
This event will be free and open to the public.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The Eaton Conference was first established in 1979 to complement the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy, the largest publicly accessible speculative
fiction (SF) archive in the world, and has been a cornerstone of research in and around SF. Over the course of its nearly 50-year history, the conference has supported both emerging and established scholars from around the globe. After a decade-long hiatus,
we are pleased to share our efforts to revive this event as a place for new and emerging SF scholars and creatives to present their work, foster connections, and conceptualize potential projects involving the Eaton Collection. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Participants are invited to present any scholarly or creative work that addresses speculative fiction in relation to the archive. We especially encourage submissions
which engage with the J. Lloyd Eaton Collection, but papers exploring other intersections between SF and the archive are also welcome. Presenters will be organized into graduate and undergraduate panels for 10-15 minute presentations, followed by Q&A. This
symposium is meant to support emerging scholars and ideas, so we encourage those not experienced with conferences to apply. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Details regarding submission requirements are listed below. We look forward to your participation!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
