But how can it be employed to tell our stories that could authentically reflect our experiences, identities, and relationships? Join us on this panel with authors Alice Chao, Ann Sei Lin, and Dr Danbee “Tauntaun” Kim as they chat with London Science Fiction Research Community co-director Dr Yen Ooi.
