Second call - CFP: Canadian Science Fiction: Northern Speculations in the Canadian Context
21st-century Canadian science fiction is unique and varied. Its production is a reflection of the country’s size, history, its status as a former colony of both Great Britain and France, its vast geography and its close proximity to the United States, as a country of immigrants and a colonizer in its own right over its Indigenous Peoples.
The Canadian imagination expresses itself in English, French, Indigenous languages and the languages of its immigrant groups, and speaks to a multicultural environment. The Canadian landscape, so vast and varied, inspires the writers, and has been re-imagined as alien worlds and foreign cities.
This is a second call for proposals. The editors seek contributions which present an overview of current Canadian science fiction in all media. The volume’s objective is to create a comparative overview demonstrating the variety and depth of the Canadian science fictional imagination. The editors aim to include sections on narrative fiction, television and cinema, and gaming. This will be a part of McFarland’s Critical Explorations in Science Fiction series and will be edited by Gillian I. Leitch (independent scholar) and Caroline-Isabelle Caron (Queen’s University).

We are currently seeking articles on:
• Afro-futurisms including by Nalo Hopkinson
• Specific authors, including authors of colour such as Fonda Lee, Premee Mohamed, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, for example
• An overview of Anglophone SF literature
• Specific linguistic communities and science fiction
• Regions or rurality in science fiction
• Science fiction production in Canada
• Canadian futures

If you are interested in contributing to this book, please submit a proposal of 250 words along with a short biography to: gilliandoctor@gmail.com
The deadline for submissions is 30 November 2026.

My new monograph is out! _Québec's Broken Futures: History, Speculative Fiction, and Identity, 1970–2015_ (Bloomsbury). I explore how SFQ echoes alarmist thoughts about Québec independence and its place in the space-time continuum of history well into the future. www.bloomsbury.com/ca/qu%C3%A9b...

Cover the book Québec's Broken Futures: History, Speculative Fiction, and Identity, 1970-2015, by Caroline-Isabelle Caron at Bloomsbury. White lettering on a photograph of cracked ice with a dark blue border.

Je sais pas si c'est un vrai tweet, mais ça fesse.

Screengrab of tweet by dezzarray: Dear America, You've pissed off the Quebequois. Do you know how badly you've got to fuck up to get Quebec to be proudly canadian?

Go watch Project Gutenberg (2018). The film is so so, but he's in it, so it's fine. I think it's on Prime video.
