Worldcon schedule

[shunn]

Here, if you're interested, is my Worldcon program schedule:

Sat 1200 Kaffeeklatsche
Participants: William SHUNN

Sat 1400 Religion In SF
Participants: Jessica LANGER, Kari MAUND, Robert Charles WILSON, William SHUNN
Though their pursuits are not mutually exclusive, religion and speculative fiction are almost anathema to one another. In SF, religion is ridiculed as superstition, derided as a pursuit of less advanced minds. Why is this kind of discrimination acceptable? Why are there not more proudly religious characters in SF?

Sun 1400 The Integration of Science and Religion in SF&F
Participants: Lisa C. FREITAG, Robert Charles WILSON, William SHUNN, Edward JAMES
Science Fiction is the literature of the humanist, the rationalist and the skeptic. As theoretical physicists look at the underpinnings of the physical universe, they see the presence of the hand of God. How do authors integrate religion and science? Can it only be done in fantasy?

If you'll be there, I hope you'll catch the Saturday panel or its Sunday rerun!

UPDATE:  I received an updated version of my schedule a short while ago, and I have edited this entry accordingly. A noon kaffeeklatsch was added on Saturday!
