<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;">I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M University, and I am thrilled to announce my dissertation project about LGBTQ+ Sci-Fi
fans! As part of the project, I’ll be making a documentary too: “Queer Sci-Fi: To Boldly Go Where No Gays Have Gone Before.” </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;">There’s not a lot of research out there about LGBTQ+ fans and my project aims to change that. If you feel up to an
engaging and fun conversation about Sci-Fi and how it shapes us Earthlings, then I’d love to chat with you and hear your stories. </span></p>
