“Think Galacticon, a project of the Think Galactic Reading Group and Collective, strives to create a space in which leftists can discuss politics and speculative fiction in an intelligent, engaging, and fun fashion. Think Galactic is a pro-woman, pro-queer, and anti-racist group that dreams of a world without oppressive hierarchies.
There will be multiple tracks of programming that seek to expand the boundaries of typical discussions. We want to explore issues of oppressive hierarchies, confronting topics of race, gender, sexuality, class and more. We have a lot of great ideas for a thoughtful and challenging weekend of radical politics and fiction, so we hope to see you come!”
