The CELLS winter speaker series brings together scholars and writers to discuss the significance of the literary imagination in (non)fictional accounts of science and technology, as well as in theoretical debates in academia and beyond. These evening lectures are hosted online via Zoom in English. They are open to the public (registration required) and free of charge. Live captioning will be provided.
