Their three-year term leading Indiana University’s Cultural Studies Program is coming to an end. Rebekah Sheldon and Tess Given are going out with a bang with Bikini Kill guitarist and self-described “cultural instigator,” Erica Dawn Lyle, speaking at their February lecture series installment. They’ve organized a two-day Cinema and Extinction Symposium this month as well. The lecture series and the symposium are open to the public and free. Sheldon and Given both like to explore ecological futures through the lens of speculative fiction and scifi.
