Another installment of an ongoing virtual series from Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) where we spotlight the innovative work of archival research fellows from around the globe. Held monthly, this series offers a unique opportunity to engage with the latest in archival research across various disciplines. Each session will feature a different fellow presenting their findings and exploring how their work sheds new light on history, scholarship and research.

February’s lecture features Sarah Nolan-Brueck, a PhD candidate at the University of Southern California. Nolan-Brueck’s research focuses on how science fiction explores and critiques gender issues. Currently, she is investigating how science fiction authors address medical legislation that affects diverse gender groups in the United States and how the genre engages with activism related to these issues.
