This course focuses on Russian and Soviet science fiction, with readings and films drawn from the nineteenth century through the present. Students will consider the feasibility of utopia and how dystopias come to pass; the depiction of robots, mad scientists, and life on other planets; and the ethics of world building.
Taught by Dr. Katherine Bowers, the class will meet virtually on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am – 11:00 am in Term 2. Register for RUSS 323A today!
