My Wiscon schedule

I am really looking forward to these panels...

whoops--my schedule was revised, so:

Classic Literature in New Media


Phantom Maids and Ghostly Ladies
Track(s) Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing Science Fiction (Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing Science Fiction)
Description Women have been writing, selling and staring in ghost stories for centuries. Authors from Sarah Orne Jewett to Shirley Jackson to Dorothy Allison have written women into a prominent place in the ghost story tradition. By turns tragic, terrifying and comic, ghost stories provide timeless entertainment. Let's talk about why they endure and what they have to offer. Are there lessons to be learned from the ghost stories of the past? What lies in the future for a good spectral read?
Location Senate A
Schedule Sun 10:00 - 11:29PM
Panelists M: Catherine Lundoff, Valerie Guyant, Sarah Monette, Kristine Smith

What's in the Air?
Track(s) Science and Technology
Description Electronic connectivity is accelerating: your computer is a TV showing movies from the net, your cellphone is a GPS device and plays games and music, you can play electronic TV with a Wii. How much more connected can we become? Is Ryman's Air technology a possibility? What will this mean for who we stay in touch with? How can these lines of communication become reins of control?
Location Senate B
Schedule Sun 10:00 - 11:29AM
Panelists M: Neil Rest, Rosalyn Berne, Jed Hartman, Geoff Ryman, Kristine Smith

And the Sign-Out
