Title: " Sexual Politics, Gender and Class in the Universe of C.J. Cherryh's Chanur Series "
"In a fiercely political universe populated by the primate mahendosat, menacing kif, tri-gendered stsho,and two species of methane breathers, hani captain Pyanfar Chanur and her family haul cargo between systems, before ending up with a male human passenger. The ensuing politics threaten even the hani homeworld. Pyanfar's eventual addition of her husband to her all-female crew sets off a revolution. What do the characters, species, and genders of the Chanur universe say to us about gender oppression and the cost, upheaval and liberation on a personal and cultural level as that oppression is lifted? Cherryh not only cogently outlines the blow-back and conservative reactions to change, but also the individual costs."
Friday, 10:30-11:45 P.M.

Damn, didn't get on the Torchwood panel...
