In this Halloween-episode of Monster Talks, we talk about fiction writer Becky Chambers\u2019 novel The Galaxy and the Ground within. This is a rich novel that brings out questions of colonialism, power and vulnerability through a chance meeting of three travelers from various species on a transport hub in the galaxy. Chambers weaves their different stories through how they listen (or not) to each other, and through how they pay attention to (or not) the small details of everyday life and survival for each one of them. Dr. Donna McCormack (Strathclyde University, Scotland) and Dr. Ingvil Hellstrand (Univeristy of Stavanger, Norway) excitedly share their thoughts about the novel and what we can learn from its negotiations of normativity, accessibility and power dynamics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
