Panel to discuss evolution of sci-fi fandom
INDIANAPOLIS – The Center for Inquiry, 350 Canal Walk, Ste A, will host a panel of experts to discuss “The Evolution of Sci-Fi Fandom” from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Nov. 10. In the past, sci-fi media has catered to white males. Fandom is evolving to be more diverse, but, as seen in recent Twitter harassment of “Star Wars” actors and controversy at the Hugo awards, not everyone reacts well to change. The panel, moderated by Lisa Meece, CEO of Starbase Indy, includes Leah Leach, Gal’s Guide to the Galaxy; Maurice Broaddus, fantasy and horror author; Michelle Mussoni, cosplayer; Miranda Montooth, Starbase Indy staff organizer and advocate. Admission is free, but tickets are required at Eventbrite.com search Spirit and Place.
