The PAMLA 2025 conference is taking place during the fiftieth anniversary of Ursula K. Le Guin’s award-winning novella, The New Atlantis, published the year after her Hugo, Locus, and Nebula award-winning novel The Dispossessed. It would seem an auspicious occasion to explore Le Guin's retroactively provocative contributions to what has since come to be known as climate fiction (or clifi), and her oeuvre more generally.
