Wiscon continues to welcome people of colour to the convention

Policy on welcoming people of colour, with action plan, from Wiscon, the world's leading feminist science fiction convention.




"We are proud that WisCon 33 will host the first Cultural Appropriation 101 class that we're aware of in the science fiction world." Wiscon also says, "We're planning to set aside a room during the convention for discussion of moving-forward strategies and potential improvements. We will work closely with people of color to ensure that this does not become a space in which the offenses recycle."




There's more. Details on the Wiscon web site, here.
