SUMMARY:Reading Science Fiction and Speculative Literature Politically - Spring 2026 Edition
DESCRIPTION:Alternate Mondays\, next on May 4\, 5-6:30 pm ET \nMEP’s alternative literature group begins a new series of novels\, short fiction and non-fiction. Speculative fiction\, reborn from traditional science fiction\, and also known by its alter ego “visionary fiction” and other identities\, including horror\, more than ever offers space for exploration of class\, race\, gender\, freedom struggles and authoritarian repression. Join with us to sample the best of this socially conscious and political literature. We read it to envision the futures we seek and empower our commitments\, enliven our reflection\, and energize our communities. \nFor April and May\, we will read:\nThe Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist\, Emile Habibi\nWe Will Rise Again: Speculative Stories and Essays on Protest\, Resistance\, and Hope\, edited by Malka Older\, Annalee Newitz and Karen Lord \nOther Spring readings have been:\n“Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience\,” Rebecca Roanhorse\n“Delhi\,” Vandana Singh\nShikasta\, Recolonized Planet 5\, Doris Lessing \n\nConvened by the Science and Speculative Fiction Reading Group.

SUMMARY:Topics in Strategic Studies - Spring 2026 Series
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, 7-9 pm ET\n \nJoin us for a new format for the “Historical Roots…” study\, reworked for 2026 as Topics in Strategic Studies. We will select and read one significant book of political theory or history a month\, focused on understanding the stresses and directions for change in the present moment. Each week\, we will invite one of us or a guest to present a current topic along with optional readings. This new format will enable us to dig into breakthrough studies and analyses while also ensuring continuing new and lively discussions on topics of interest. \nThis month\, we are reading The Choice of Civil War: Neoliberal Strategy and the Politics of the Enemy by Pierre Dardot et al. Alberto Toscano calls this work “a trenchant and provocative study of the symbolic\, legal and material violence that has been deployed over the past half-century to secure the rule of capital across the planet. The Choice of Civil War breaks with antiseptic images of neoliberalism as the production of docile subjects or the marketization of everyday life\, revealing it as the theory and practice of class warfare.” \nAs we confirm additional readings for the spring and summer\, we will add them to a new syllabus which you can request\, while continuing to update our long-term bibliography of supplementary readings.
