Current MA student Brianna Sas-P茅rez presented their research at the 13th in Albuquerque, New Mexico in November 2025. Thinking with abolition geography scholarship and a close reading of the walled Robledo neighborhood in Octavia Butler鈥檚 (1993) Parable of the Sower, her poster explores what mapping speculative fiction can teach us about how to create safe neighborhoods, without police or prisons. In their thesis work, brianna continues to research how mapping speculative worlds invite us to question how communities today do, and/or could, cultivate similar spaces of collective care amid our own unfolding crises. Well done, Brianna!
