Making the Millennials: Mass Education, Meritocracy, Malaise

This is a call for proposals to participate in a proposed panel at MLA in Toronto in January 2026.

Higher education had three socially pertinent effects in previous eras of capitalist development. It: offered graduates a pathway to upward mobility; conferred a “stake” in normative society such that graduates could “buy into” the dominant economic systems from which they stood to benefit; and was an incubator for mass social and political movements such as the 1960s student movement.

But much recent fiction evinces a change in attitudes to university – a weakening of the assumption that higher education is a pathway to social mobility for the individual and social justice/progress for the collective.

Dystopian Universes: Postapocalyptic and Futuristic Representations of Climate and Nature in Speculative Fiction

What does the future hold for us, as the inhabitants of a planet much burdened by a burgeoning population, whose demands for time-saving technologies and physical comfort are endless? Will there be wars over potable water? Will we give up gold and gems and treasure oxygen instead? Or will existence end with either bang or whimper?

Utopian visions carry hope and contrarily, but more importantly, dystopian ones are much-needed warnings of what is likely to happen. This latter view made us feel that cli-fi needs to urgently present unflattering futuristic scenarios of our continued apathy towards nature and climate.
