The Feminist's Guide to DragonCon
Every labor day weekend, Atlanta is busy, busy, busy! There’s the Decatur Book Festival , Black GayPride , and DragonCon -a huge science fiction and fantasy convention. One thing that I don’t talk about often is that I am a nerd and I attend DragonCon every year. This will be my eleventh year! D*Con is held in five hotels: the Westin, Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and Sheridan and features many panels, costume contests, parties, dances, musical and comedy shows, film screenings, venders, games, a parade, and much more. It’s always a great time! This year I am presenting the Feminist Guide to DragonCon, which is a list I have compiled of all the panels that address feminism in some way. I have included a lot of different topics and not just topics that deal with sexism or women directly, because “my feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit” (one of my favorite quotes). I have the category (track), the title, the description, time, and where the panel can be found.
