We are really lucky to have Phil Crockett Thomas joining us for a creative writing workshop as well as a more formal academic talk.

The session will be a space to create and discuss speculative fiction on the theme of more just societies. It draws on Phil’s research on the anti-carceral imagination and her edited book Abolition Science Fiction (2022), written with activists and scholars involved in the movement for prison abolition in the UK. There is no need to be an experienced writer or activist to take part. A small amount of preparatory reading will be shared in advance of the workshop.

Places are limited, please sign up if you want to take part.
