  Addresses intersections in the reading, writing, and teaching of science fiction. It examines the teaching of SF; SF as a genre of mediation between the sciences and the humanities; SF in the media, using specific television programs, graphic novels, and films as examples; and features close readings of SF texts by women, including Joanna Russ, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Octavia E. Butler.
