Welcome to the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time schedule for OryCon 44! Seriously - we’re still hard at work on the schedule, but we want to give you an idea of what wonders await you in just a few more weeks. Please check back frequently for changes and additions, and see you in October!
Created equal and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Is the Declaration of Independence a utopian document? The right to vote, the abolition of slavery, the forty-hour work week: these were once the stuff of utopian dreams and yet they have come to be through real struggle, embodying the potential new world in words and actions. Is contemporary utopian literature possible? What is the society you want to live in and what are you doing to make it happen?
