Genres such as fantasy, horror, science fiction or alternative history all fall into the bucket of speculative fiction, which at its core simply marks a departure from realism. Often what sets speculative fiction apart from these other genres is its commitment to social critique. Authors who gravitate toward speculative fiction use it as a means through which to comment on contemporary issues of social, environmental, and racial justice. By offering us a version of reality which departs from but resembles our present, speculative fiction allows us to look with fresh eyes at things we have previously taken for granted, and points up some of the deeply unjust aspects of our society that we have normalized within the present.

Unchained focuses on addressing the deep-rooted racial and economic inequalities that fuel mass incarceration by empowering directly impacted individuals through education, advocacy, and leadership development. Meanwhile, CCA provides direct services, policy advocacy, and organizing efforts to support individuals affected by mass incarceration. Committed to justice reform, CCA offers alternatives to incarceration, reentry support, housing assistance, and employment opportunities for those with conviction records. Through grassroots mobilization and legislative advocacy, CCA advances efforts to end mass incarceration and promote civil and human rights for all New Yorkers. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/seidel monthly 0.5 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/ade75950-d760-4c66-9c6d-aef39fbb7d8a/dena+filming+avian+ws.jpg Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/53550ead-f73b-4d83-8703-35b183ec54be/vlcsnap-2023-09-20-11h36m39s323.png Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/1695304609424-YJZOXNEN96NHH3S2NQ70/image11.jpg Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/1695307672814-KBD9J6FOX1PT5TLK1NS0/image19.jpg Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/e6c72e82-2141-4c03-b0a2-63c1a040e869/Kirsten+Alen+interviewed+by+4H+students+take+2.jpg Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/fc21fc02-d75c-4f8d-b75c-744f9a58ad3d/Dena+and+Oscar+hill+palmer.jpg Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/6e11b944-6ba0-4141-a4a8-b82029c25c75/IMG_6879+%281%29.JPG Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/b9cde81d-8301-4a01-aba2-4120655db7e4/IMG_6496+%283%29.JPG Guides - Dena Seidel: Science Communication, Filmmaking and Food Systems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/herrera monthly 0.5 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/12dfb5b4-1bdc-43f9-85cc-38e08deba1cc/JuanFelipeHerrera2012hires.jpg Guides - Juan Felipe Herrera: Latiné environmentalism & the Chicano/a Literary Movement - Environmental Storyteller Spotlight: US Poet Laureate Emeritus Juan Felipe Herrera Juan Felipe Herrera is the 21st Poet Laureate of the United States (2015-2016) and is the first Latino poet to hold the position. From 2012-2014, Herrera served as California State Poet Laureate. Herrera’s many collections of poetry include California Brown: Illuminations & Hollers; Every Day We Get More Illegal; Notes on the Assemblage; Senegal Taxi; Half of the World in Light: New and Selected Poems, a recipient of the PEN/Beyond Margins Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award; and 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can’t Cross The Border: Undocuments 1971-2007. He is also the author of Crashboomlove: A Novel in Verse, which received the Americas Award. His books of prose for children include: I Am the Future; SkateFate, Calling The Doves, which won the Ezra Jack Keats Award; Upside Down Boy, which was adapted into a musical for young audiences in New York City; and Cinnamon Girl: Letters Found Inside a Cereal Box.

And that’s it. A big, old, line was drawn. That was her story. And it really got to me…I waged a little war with myself and with society. I was going to get up there, one way or another, and somehow, along the way, I was going to bring her into the stories.” The expansiveness of Herrera’s verse, its wide array of subjects, linguistic influences, genres, and forms opens up a space for individual and collective histories of culture, place, sorrow, and joy. While “Touch the Earth (once again)” focuses on the experience of migrant workers as profoundly rooted within the land and a key aspect of the agricultural, social, and economic ecosystems of the United States, Herrera’s 2008 poem “Exiles” offers its flip side. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/saylermorrisguide monthly 0.5 2024-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/dd58ca04-a9e4-4181-bb87-443c5827bc32/Headshot_Sayler_Morris.jpg Guides - Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris: Ecologies of Place https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/07725cf0-79af-4dee-b10a-0483c8c58236/collage+v3+flattened.jpg Guides - Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris: Ecologies of Place - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/71bcdd25-7ccc-4e7e-8f2a-f094e5390050/2.jpg Guides - Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris: Ecologies of Place - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/be0d730c-0d37-43a3-a34d-f5b8b60b3eca/6.jpg Guides - Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris: Ecologies of Place - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/3b729d18-a825-4c87-bfb1-bc72d3adfb1a/IMG_7848.jpg Guides - Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris: Ecologies of Place - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/5811c96b-fe06-4735-8c96-0b6c33b64a31/CP_website_intrographic_R4_Toolshed.jpg Guides - Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris: Ecologies of Place - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/badrmillerguide monthly 0.5 2024-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/a826824c-7dda-4fdf-81e4-9dc3d3901fbe/Badr%26Miller.png Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/b793ddeb-f1b4-47cb-8a20-130ef14c8e93/4888Narratio_RichmondIntroduction_%28c%29Grattan2203244608+x+3456.jpg Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty - Corwin at Seneca Media & Communications Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/b19bd737-9c19-4de2-ba7c-91c5c74919a6/Ahmed+Photo.JPG Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/3834442f-bbd9-47c9-9194-6ce1bbe5222f/Ruth+photo.jpeg Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/8298b925-1120-43cd-a0f1-4a510f907575/Ruth+photo+2.jpg Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/ad2ca02d-8901-4d2e-9bee-d7a22b06be41/Vivee+Francis+Event+Photo.JPG Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/dee60f7b-73be-4366-9413-1aa74388ea7e/11_CoreyHenry_SSP.jpg Guides - Ahmed Badr & Ruth Miller: Narrative Sovereignty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/georgelakeyguide monthly 0.5 2023-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/1667847463182-IBIONND8TA1W08DTIT1G/LakeyEvent.jpeg Guides - George Lakey: Nonviolent Action & Climate Justice - Environmental Storyteller Spotlight: Author and Activist George Lake George Lakey was born into a white working-class family in a small town in rural Pennsylvania and has been active in direct action campaigns for seven decades. He recently retired from Swarthmore College, where he was a professor of Issues of Social Change. He is a Quaker, and came out as a gay man in 1974. Lakey was first arrested at a civil rights demonstration in March 1963, and his most recent arrest was in June 2021 during a climate justice march. He helped found numerous experiments in nonviolent living and social movement training such as the Movement for a New Society and Training for Change. These groups help everyday people develop tools and strategies to employ in order to bring about revolutionary change through nonviolent means. His books include Viking Economics: How the Scandinavians Got It Right and How We Can, Too and How We Win: A Guide to Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigning and Dancing With History: A Life for Peace and Justice. He lives in Philadelphia. A motto that he lives by is “The revolution’s gotta be irresistible!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/da0bd4ef-7012-45f0-a9d7-e443ffe4118c/15_EmilySteinberger_PE.jpg Guides - George Lakey: Nonviolent Action & Climate Justice - Corwin at Seneca Media & Communications Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/a8e33a22-c22f-451c-870e-d25c6458c12e/how-we-win-george-lakey-TITLE.png Guides - George Lakey: Nonviolent Action & Climate Justice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/dee60f7b-73be-4366-9413-1aa74388ea7e/11_CoreyHenry_SSP.jpg Guides - George Lakey: Nonviolent Action & Climate Justice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/sequoiakempguide monthly 0.5 2023-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/1667840840957-DAFPQJ1FERKPB22HNBDI/070522_D0092.jpg Guides - SeQuoia Kemp: Reproductive and Environmental Justice - Environmental Storyteller Spotlight: Birthworker SeQuoia I. Kemp SeQuoia I. Kemp is native to Syracuse, NY and has been dedicated to birth work since the age of 14. She is the founder of Doula 4 a Queen–that centers itself around community-based doula practices, and she works to support families before, during, and after birth because she believes they deserve the ‘royal’ treatment. She is also one of the 3 founders of Sankofa Reproductive Health & Healing Center, which was founded to support families on the southside of Syracuse. Both organizations are making positive changes for Black women and women of color in the central New York area. SeQuoia has been recognized for her efforts by New York State, receiving the 2022 Senate Empire Award. Senator Rachel May praised Kemp stating, “SeQuoia Kemp, the founder of Doula 4 A Queen, is a birth worker, an advocate for Black health and wellness, and a health justice activist. Through her practice and advocacy, she is making a positive difference in health outcomes for women of color in Central New York.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/1667841388859-3C8U0E5C7ZTF57DEHKE9/Kemp+healing+circle.jpeg Guides - SeQuoia Kemp: Reproductive and Environmental Justice - Corwin at Seneca Media & Communications Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/4fc1e7f8-6f17-40b7-931e-2a549c9e9818/Kemp+Doula.jpg Guides - SeQuoia Kemp: Reproductive and Environmental Justice Collaborative storytelling is foundational to SeQuoia’s birth and community education and advocacy work. Through dialogue, poetry, song, and movement, she draws out and connects the stories of mothers and birthing people to cultivate awareness, advocate for self and others and develop a community of mutual support. In this way, an individual’s experiences come together with others to make composite stories of struggle, celebration, and birthing justice. While her focus is on the community of Syracuse, building coalitions means fostering relationships and raising awareness across political and academic institutions about environmental justice and the impact it has on marginalized birthing people. She frequently guest lectures for courses at colleges and universities including: Georgia State University, Colgate University, SUNY Upstate Medical, and University of Rochester. https://envirostorycny.com/guides/jasconcorwinguide monthly 0.5 2023-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/be96cfa0-bd3c-4ea8-8216-416c5d6634f6/j3.jpg Guides - Jason Corwin: Indigenous Land Rights & Responsibilities - Environmental Storyteller Spotlight: Filmmaker Jason Corwin A citizen of the Seneca Nation (Deer Clan), and a lifelong storyteller and maker, Dr. Jason Corwin is also the founding director of the Seneca Media & Communications Center and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Indigenous Studies at the University of Buffalo. Corwin has produced both short and feature-length documentaries, many of which engage with Indigenous ways of knowing, social/environmental justice topics, and the multi-layered aspects of sustainability that are both visibly and invisibly entwined in our lives. His work as an educator is broad and immersive. Having worked closely with groups like the Green Guerrillas Youth Media Tech Collective, Corwin’s work highlights the potential of digital storytelling to foster knowledge retention in youth and community. This is work that encourages deeper connections to nature, creating both a stronger sense of empowerment in storytellers and thus a more robust entry point for creating positive change in communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/0d39771d-f2ec-4ae0-8353-89176994f44b/Corwin-SenecaMediaCenter.jpg Guides - Jason Corwin: Indigenous Land Rights & Responsibilities - Corwin at Seneca Media & Communications Center Corwin at Seneca Media & Communications Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/631b7c8b857ceb7ca81223a3/190227ca-dc83-4187-bf25-0e022e00b8cd/maxresdefault.jpg Guides - Jason Corwin: Indigenous Land Rights & Responsibilities Corwin’s recent feature-length film, Denying Access: NoDAPL to NoNAPL, chronicles the Water Protectors at Standing Rock and Seneca Territory to oppose Dakota Access and Northern Access Pipelines.

And I had to confront myself in the wilderness — who I thought I was, and then there was the person I was becoming as I was there. The wilderness is so much larger than man. It took me off center, and I’m glad it did. It forced me to explore not just the natural world but the wilderness within me. Why was it unraveling me? That really was the starting point. I had to negotiate what the wilderness was doing to me, and there was no pretense that I was taming it. It was un-taming me!” Francis’ “wilderness” overflows with the inherited hauntings of relationships, past and present. It binds and unwinds intergenerational trauma, blackness, environmental history, the language of landscape; it critiques and celebrates what is seen and unseen.
