More about the SF&F Area
The Area was founded in 1995 by Prof. Richard Tuerk of the Texas A&M University-Commerce (formerly East Texas State University) and author of Oz in Perspective (McFarland, 2007). The Area is currently chaired by Ximena Gallardo C. of the City University of New York-LaGuardia and co-author of Alien Woman: The Making of Lt. Ellen Ripley (Continuum: 2004), Alyson Buckman of the California State University-Sacramento, Tamy Burnett of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Brian Cowlishaw of Northeastern State University, and C. Jason Smith of the City University of New York- LaGuardia.
Though the co-chairs consult on submissions, Ximena is primarily responsible for the general organization of the conference panels, Alyson and Tamy coordinate the Whedonverse panels (Buffy, Firefly, Angel, and etc.), Brian reviews and organizes the literature panels, and Jason coordinates special panels on current “hot” topics or whatever else he is obsessed with this year.
With an average of 70+ presenters annually, The Science Fiction and Fantasy Area of the Southwest and Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Association is one of the most dynamic and well attended areas at the conference. Numerous book and article publications have originated from our panels.
