I\u0026rsquo;m fascinated by science fiction as a \u0026ldquo;global language\u0026rdquo; that all different kinds of people use to convey their ideas about science, society, and the future across centuries, continents, and cultures. I\u0026rsquo;m particularly interested in the recovery of lost voices in science fiction history and the discovery of new ones from around the globe. Most of my research and teaching revolves around speculative art created by women, Black authors, and scientists, and I\u0026rsquo;m fortunate because I get to write books about all these wonderful artists and then share my ideas in the popular press.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"35826","created_gmt":"2021-05-25 14:42:07","changed_gmt":"2021-05-28 20:16:48","author":"mshepard31","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"industrial\/organizational psychology","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/shoutoutatlanta.com\/meet-lisa-yaszek-regents-professor-of-science-fiction-studies\/","dateline":{"date":"2021-05-25T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2021-05-25T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"647841":{"id":"647841","type":"image","title":"Lisa Yaszek","body":null,"created":"1622232958","gmt_created":"2021-05-28 20:15:58","changed":"1622232970","gmt_changed":"2021-05-28 20:16:10","alt":"Lisa Yaszek","file":{"fid":"245926","name":"YaszekLisa_web-square.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/YaszekLisa_web-square.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/YaszekLisa_web-square.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":376888,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/YaszekLisa_web-square.jpg?itok=8RZ215oN"}}},"media_ids":["647841"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
