Centre for Science Fiction and Fantasy wins EU Marie Curie grant for shaping a preferable future
We have won EU Marie Curie funding for a visiting fellowship for Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak of Wroclaw University to work on “ChildAct: Shaping a Preferable Future: Children Reading, Thinking and Talking about Alternative Communities and Times”. The ARU collaborator on the project is Eugene Giddens, the Skinner-Young Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature and Course Leader for the MA Children’s Literature at Anglia Ruskin.
The project seeks to understand how fantasy and imagined futures, including utopias and dystopias, might make for more politically prepared and engaged childhoods.
