What is Social Fiction?
The Social Fiction Conference (SFC) is celebrating its eleventh year at Crown College as a highlight of Crown's first year student co-curricular experience. SFC provides a unique opportunity for analyzing important societal issues in the context of science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, gaming and other related genres of entertainment. The conference is a co-curricular program designed to create space for festive activities and reflective conversations about issues of identity, power, privilege, and oppression through various fictional worlds. The conference is a part of Crown College students' first year Core curriculum experience and delves deeper into Crown's theme of "Science and Technology in Society and Politics" through the imaginative and diverse perspectives of students, staff and faculty.
SFC is open to all members of the UCSC Community to attend and propose programs.
We greatly appreciate your support of this student initiated experience.
