Aino-Kaisa Koistinen<p>Call for Papers:<br>“Speculating Gender: Trans and Non-Binary Genders in Speculative Fiction”</p><p>How is gender imagined in speculative fiction, where all kinds of imaginations are seemingly possible? What kind of representation, narratives, or game mechanics are used when creating gendered imaginations beyond the binary? We call for papers for a scholarly anthology on current understandings on “Trans and Non-Binary Genders in Speculative Fiction”.</p><p>Prospectively, a selection of papers will be published as a peer-reviewed research anthology edited by Dr. Aino-Kaisa Koistinen, Dr. Mika Loponen, and PhD candidate Susi Nousiainen. Please send a 300-500 word abstract, including selected references, & short bio (in English) to nbbookproject@gmail.com by April 15, 2025 for inclusion in the collection (we expect first drafts of 5,000–8,000 words in August 2025).</p><p>Feel free to share!</p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MaT4kwhNF18cGkD26SJu1RptfnxIGJFlxsp7qEK7J3k/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/document/d/1Ma</span><span class="invisible">T4kwhNF18cGkD26SJu1RptfnxIGJFlxsp7qEK7J3k/edit?usp=sharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/sffstudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sffstudies</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/speculativefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>speculativefiction</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scifi</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/QueerSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerSF</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/queersff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queersff</span></a></p>
