OPhiARen3, what does this class cover?

It's a research group. The Georgia Tech Library has one of the largest archives of science fiction works in the country (figures ...), and so to publicize it and make it more accessible, student researchers get class credit or undergrad research grants to work on this website:
www.sf.lcc.gatech.edu (it's being redone and is kind of hard to navigate at the moment), which discusses the collection according to different topics in SF. I've got a page on the site from last Spring dealing with racial issues in American science fiction, and this semester I'm working on two projects - 1) reproduction in science fiction, and 2) representations and implications of the sex act in science fiction. We've also put on a couple of conferences related to SF/fantasy at Tech.
Sorry for the rambling, you've unwittingly gotten an academic off on the subject of her current research ...
