Diversity-Related Lit Track Panels That Still Need People
Hi everyone,
shadesong has noted that the following panels still need people to sign up for them, in order for them to run. Today is the final day to sign up for them on the Arisia site. If these panels do not get enough people, and I cannot find a way to locate and personally recruit folks for them in the next few days, then they will not run.
Here is the full list of diversity-related literature track panels that still don't have enough people -- if you would like to be on any of these panels or know anyone who might be interested, please let them know.
I know not all of you are Arisia attendees. Please help me signal boost this -- the signup deadline is listed as TODAY. If you know anyone who is interested who isn't currently signed up to be a program participant but who wants to be, that person can email programming at arisia dot org, and CC shadesong so she knows who you are (and why this is the panel for you).
If you want full descriptions of any of the panels, email me and I will get right back to you.
Here are the panels that still need people, along with how many people have currently signed up (I have no idea how strongly each of these people wants that panel, or how qualified the interested people are):
Literature 165 Islam and SF/F 1
Literature 170 Trans* and Gender Variant SF 3
Literature 173 Hoodoo, Voodoo & the Bullshit That Authors Do 5 (Voodoo "culturefail" in spec fic)
Literature 236 Steampunk and Colonialism 5
Literature 372 From Papi Chulo to Papi Cthulhu 3 (Latino/a spec fic)
Literature 373 Hey, Comadre, Are You Invisible? 3 (Latino/a spec fic)
Literature 381 Beyond Our Horizons: Non-English SF & Fantasy 2
Literature 382 Demographics, World Change, and the Future 1 (Future economies/political influence of Brazil, Russia, India, China)
Literature 389 SFnal Non-Western Cities 1
Literature 393 Disabilities in Science Fiction 4
Literature 400 Free to Squee You & Me 3 (Squee about favorite authors and characters of color)
Literature 407 The Arisia Book Club: 50 Books by POC 1
Literature 709 Orientalism in Victorian & Steampunk Literature 5
