Colin Milburn’s keynote address will focus on his experience establishing a
personalized pathway for Science and Technology Studies (STS) on various UC
campuses. Dr. Milburn cultivates graduate and undergraduate student
engagement in a context that promotes the productive crossing of academic
silos of knowledge acquisition and research. His areas of interest include
science fiction, gothic horror, the history of biology, the history of
physics, nanotechnology, video games, and the digital humanities.



Colin's research explores the intersections of science, literature, and
media technologies. He is especially interested in the ways that science
fiction has impacted the history of science. His many books include
Respawn: Gamers, Hackers, and Techngenic Life (Duke University Press, 2018)
examines the role of video games in the development of high-tech culture
and online activism. At UC Davis, Milburn is a professor in the English
Department, director of the Science and Technology Studies Department, and
a professor in the Cinema and Digital Media Department.
