Jenna Hanchey has been called a "badass fairy," and she attempts to live up to the title. A professor of critical/cultural studies at Arizona State University, her research looks at how speculative fiction can imagine decolonization and bring it into being. Her own writing tries to support this project of creating better futures for us all. Her BSFA award-shortlisted work appears in Star*Line, Nature, and Radon, among other venues. She cohosts the podcast "Griots & Galaxies" on African speculative fiction. Follow her adventures at www.jennahanchey.com.
