Speculative Fiction Project

In spring 2023, Dartmouth’s Design Initiative held the first gathering of award-winning speculative fiction sci-fi and fantasy authors who met with a small group of faculty.

We faculty shared our research and had intensive conversations and design thinking exercises with these authors. The goal was to provide inspiration for them to write short stories imagining human futures in light of our research. The plan is to disseminate research in a more accessible, engaging way through the power of story and to flesh out possible futures.
