In this workshop participants will explore the world of “science fantasy” (known as science fiction in the West) literature and film from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Within this popular genre, writers and filmmakers criticized economic, political, and social issues that citizens in these regions were facing in their everyday lives. Participants will increase their knowledge about the events and history that inspired these works, how they have been received domestically and internationally in the past and present, and how they have influenced the creative output of their Anglophone counterparts. This year's workshop will be led by Alexander Burry, Associate Professor of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University.

This workshop is free, virtual, and open to pre- and in-service K-12 educators and community college educators. This year's cohort size will be limited to 30 participants.
