Programme – Glasgow University
Vision
The University of Glasgow has a strong presence in studies of the fantastic and gaming in all of their forms. Our collaboration with the University, and particularly with the Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic and the Games and Gaming Lab presents compelling perspectives to convention members not usually available at a Worldcon. We hope that members of the Worldcon will leave the convention with the expanded horizons that come from interactions with a research community that is immersed in the study of genre, literature, media culture and their significance for society.
If you would be interested in attending any of these events, it would be very helpful if you could fill in this very brief survey to help us get a sense of potential numbers.
What is happening and where is it happening?
A series of items on campus at the University’s Advanced Research Centre (ARC), ranging from Fantasy and Gaming research showcases to Fantasy MLitt taster sessions and playtesting of UofGGamesLab research-led games. Members of the University community will also be participating in panels in the main programme at the SEC.
The ARC is located at 11 Chapel Lane, Glasgow G11 6EW on the Glasgow University campus, close to the Kelvingrove Museum. We are using the seminar suite and exhibition space, which are both fully accessible.
All the items are part of the Glasgow University Programme can be found on the full convention schedule here. You will need to have a membership or ticket to attend these items. Some of these items require prior registration. This can be done using the forms listed here. If a Glasgow University item does appear on this list, it does not require registration.
