Slow Catastrophes, Uncertain Revivals

Stories Inspired by Project Hieroglyph

Edited by Michele Speitz and Joey Eschrich

"Slow Catastrophes, Uncertain Revivals" is a collection of research-based stories about the future, proudly published by Project Hieroglyph. The book features stories created by students in “Slow Catastrophes, Speculative Futures, Science & Imagination: Rewriting and Rethinking Sustainability,” a course designed and taught by Dr. Michele Speitz at Furman University in South Carolina.

The course and the stories in this volume were inspired by Project Hieroglyph, particularly by our first anthology, "Hieroglyph: Stories and Visions for a Better Future" (2014), which the students read and discussed throughout the course — along with a wealth of scholarly readings on sustainability, ecocriticism, international development, narrative, and ecology.
