*More about the SF&F Area *



The Area was founded in 1995 by Prof. Richard Tuerk of the Texas A&M

University-Commerce (formerly East Texas State University) and author of

*Oz in Perspective* (McFarland, 2007). The Area is currently chaired by

Ximena Gallardo C. of the City University of New York-LaGuardia, Alyson

Buckman of the California State University-Sacramento*,* Tamy Burnett of

the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Brian Cowlishaw of Northeastern

State University. Though the co-chairs consult on submissions, Ximena is

primarily responsible for the general organization of the conference

panels and coordinating special topics, Alyson and Tamy coordinate the

Whedonverse panels (*Buffy*, *Firefly*, *Angel*, *Dollhouse*, and etc.),

and Brian reviews and organizes the literature panels.



With an average of 70+ presenters annually, The Science Fiction and Fantasy

Area of the Southwest and Texas Popular Culture and American Culture

Association is one of the most dynamic and well-attended areas at the

conference. Numerous publications have originated from our panels.
