Fantastic & Strange: Reflections of Self in Science Fiction Literature
Tuesday, September 18 - Friday, July 26 All Day - Tseng Gallery, Oviatt Library

Science fiction literature, one of the most popular and entertaining genres in modern fiction, has been read and loved by children and adults for decades. From the earliest pulp publications to modern masterpieces, science fiction short stories and novels have often functioned as a lens through which we express our sense of wonder, marvel at the possibilities of new technologies, and engage in our wildest imaginings. Join us as we celebrate the fantastic and strange in science fiction literature.
Presentation by Irma Casas Franco, the director of Casa Amiga, a womens shelter in Juarez, MX.
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm - Whitsett Room
Irma Guadalupe Casas started working as a volunteer in Casa Amiga when it was established in 1999 while she was attending university and getting a degree in psychology. By 2005, and after finishing her M.A., Casas Franco became a full-time psychologist, and one year later, she started directing Casa Amiga's psychology unit. In 2008, she directed the operations of the shelter and in 2009, after Esther Chávez Cano passed away, Casas Franco became Casa Amiga's director, the position that she holds today.
