In this course, students will develop skills in understanding and appreciating the genre of science fiction. Additionally, students will apply critical methodologies and investigate relationships between science fiction and society, thus confirming their skills of analysis and writing.

Anthropological critical theory will include colonialism and social identity (i.e., ethnocentrism, xenocentrism, folk definitions of the Other).
