Overview

Canadian science fiction and fantasy editor and academic. I have worked with fantasy authors such as Dave Duncan, Susan MacGregor and Marie Powell, science fiction writers like Leslie Gadallah and Sally McBride, and young adult authors like Mike Plested. For non-fiction, I have worked with educators like Colin Scheyen and journalists like Nate Hendley. As a sociologist I am interested in topics related to work, profession, technology and avocational subcultures. As an educator I am interested in topics related to student evaluation, sociology, kid culture and technology. I also do theses in education or the social sciences.

Dave Duncan

Dave Duncan is the award-w... read more
