The English department’s Dr Caroline Edwards and Christos Callow are co-organising an exciting conference on the British SF writer Adam Roberts. The conference – titled New Genre Army – will take place at Lincoln on Friday 5th April.

If you would like to attend please email newgenrearmy@gmail.com.

In attendance we will have, amongst others, Professor Farah Mendelsohn, Professor Edward James, the Guardian SF columnist Damien Walter, Niall Harrison, the editor of critically acclaimed SF magazine Strange Horizons, and Dr Andrew M. Butler – an impressive array of the leading scholars and editors in SF / fantasy.

Hope some of you can join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion of how we should read and theorise SF/F in the 21st century!
