This year’s AJE calls for work steeped in elements of speculative fiction to comment on the socio-political, economic, and cultural conditions of Scarborough today. Speculative fiction is a genre of fiction that encompasses works in which the setting is other than the real world, involving supernatural, futuristic, or other imagined elements.
Tell us how you experience an imagined Scarborough. From the aunties in Tim Horton’s brewing their daily morning potions, to the monstrous 401, or the robot workers building the Eglinton line - show us the magic of our community, and let us bear witness to the dystopia and boundless possibilities of Speculative::Skaṝ-broügĥ (Speculative Scarborough) 🪄
