Working title: Queer encounters with the reproductive imperative — addressing the impact of reproductive futurism on visions of queer futurity in science fiction theatre

Supervisor: Dr Louise LePage

In my research, I analyse how reproductive futurism has influenced conceptions of future society in science fiction theatre. In particular, I examine how reproductive futurism and the prioritisation of the figurative Child has affected the imagined role of queer people in humanity’s future. Through my own writing and theatre projects, I investigate and trial methods for destabilizing and challenging these narrative patterns.
