Finnish conventions always have a great academic presence, and their Worldcon promises to be no different. I have just been sent the Call for Papers for Worldcon 75. The theme of the track will be “100 Years of Estrangement”. The deadline for submitting abstracts is October 31st.

As it happens, I know exactly what I am going to submit. It is a paper called “Genly Ai and the Trans Panic Defense”. I have been meaning to write it for some time now, and this is a perfect opportunity.
