Dear Committee members,
does anyone of you know Lance Henson? He seems to be a Native American who lives in Europe.
The problem is that since years, when I send out an email with information on conferences and events, he responses to me and complains the he is not invited as a speaker to the conference or as a performer to the event. Each year he complains that he is not invited as a keynote speaker to the AIW. Since years I am explaining to him that I am not the organizer of these events and if he wants to complain he shall use the contact email listed in the info. He ignores that and continues to send his complaints to me. Last time he complained that he was not invited to the Indigenous Peoples Day at NONAM!
His last email (see below) has another quality now. He starts to insult me for information on an event I have sent out. I cannot tolerate that! If anyone of you knows him, please contact him and tell him, that he should stop sending his complaints and insults to me. If this does not stop, I will remove him from our mailing list.
Best, Renate

Troubling Utopia: New Horizons in Research and Practice
Indigenous Futurisms: Troubling Utopia with Conrad Scott
York St. John University, York/UK
July 12, 2023 & July 14, 2023 / 5:00 pm BST (UTC +1) / 18:00h CEST
Indigenous Futurisms (a term coined by Grace Dillon) suggest the imperative and opportunity of forward, generative, and healing cultural movements as conceived by writers, other artistic creators, and knowledge keepers speculating about more positive outcomes despite what are currently troubling urban and rural issues that extend from the local to the regional and even global. For this two-part session, Conrad Scott will examine how some of these imaginings about the future are disturbing and even dystopian, unpacking such factors as environmental entanglements, changes to place, and the disappearance of home, among other factors, in a reading of contemporary work in this area.
Conrad Scott (PhD, English and Film Studies, University of Alberta; MA, University of Victoria, English) is an Assistant Lecturer with the University of Alberta, and also teaches Athabasca University’s “The Ecological Imagination” course. He serves as the Co-President for the Association for Literature, Environment, and Culture in Canada (ALECC) and the Science Fiction Research Association’s (SFRA) Country Rep for Canada. He researches contemporary sf and environmental literature, with current projects focused on plant and animal futures, and the spatial turn. His academic writing has appeared in journals like Transmotion, Extrapolation, Paradoxa, The Anthropocene and the Undead, Environmental Philosophy, The Goose, UnderCurrents, Science Fiction Studies, and The SFRA Review, with forthcoming chapters in The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms (2023) and Animals and SF (Palgrave 2023). He is also a co-editor for the forthcoming Entangled Futurities (Routledge 2024), the proofreader for the forthcoming English-translated Anthology of Turkish Science Fiction Stories (Transnational Press London 2023), and the author of the poetry collection Waterline Immersion (Frontenac House 2019).
