Prof. Taryne Jade Taylor publishes "Diasporic Latinx Futurisms" in The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction

Congratulations to Prof. Taryne Jade Taylor on publishing essay "Diasporic Latinx Futurisms" in The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction edited by Mark Bould, Andrew M Butler, and Sherryl Vint.

The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction was created to mark the 10th anniversary of the field-defining collection The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction. Professor Taylor's essay defines Latinx Futurisms while also demonstrating the way Latinx science fiction and fantasy reshape genre definitions and histories. Additionally, the editorial introduction to The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction cites Professor Taylor's 2023 co-edited collection, The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms, is one of the "important expansions and equally important shifts of perspectives" in science fiction studies (Bould et al 2-3).

Additionally, a book in the series "Studies in Global Genre Fiction," edited by Taryne Jade Taylor and Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay,  Professor Pablo Gómez-Muñoz's Science Fiction Cinema in the Twenty First Century: Transnational Futures, Cosmopolitan Concerns, has received a book award from the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE) in the Cultural and Area Studies.
