Book Talk - Science Fiction Novels: Entertainment, Education or Warning? (READ@PolyU)

News Tuesday, October 8, 2013 - 14:48

Dear All,

As part of the READ@PolyU programme, you are cordially invited to a Book Talk by Mr Andrew Morrall, Senior Lecturer, English Language Centre, who will speak on "Science Fiction Novels: Entertainment, Education or Warning?"

Date :

15 October 2013 (Tuesday)

Time :

12:30 - 1:30 PM

Venue :

Seminar Room, Research Enhancement Centre, 3/F, Library


About the talk
Science fiction authors warn us of problems such as those in the Hunger Games, but do we learn from them? Without entertainment we would not read, but if entertainment means that heroes and heroines always win, are we just learning to be over-confident? Come to this talk to prepare for the future, because that's where you will spend the rest of your life.

Admission is free of charge but prior registration is required. Please access this online form to register. Seats are available on a first-come-first-served basis.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us by email at lbread@polyu.edu.hk or by phone at 2766-6873.

With best regards,
