  • 1.  Ideas for 2022 Panel

    Posted Aug 09, 2021 10:19 AM
    Hi everyone,

    We are brainstorming ideas for next year's panel at Annual. So far, two ideas have come in:
    • Colonies: exploration, mining colonies, and exploitation
    • Hope: wish fulfilment, imaginations and better tomorrows
    There is still a lot of debating and thinking to do. But I would be super happy to hear from the group itself about which topic is grabbing your attention or any other ideas that you would really love to hear authors discussing.

    Thanks,
    Athina

    I personally like hope. I think we could all use some discussion on hope right now with Covid and all the craziness we are all dealing with.

    I think, especially given the growing threats of irreversible climate change and hateful politics, the theme of hope would be just the cool drink of water we need in this desert.
