Society for Utopian Studies Resources
Utopus Discovered
Alex Hall, a PhD student at Kent State University, has taken on the task of resurrecting the Society for Utopian Studies newsletter, Utopus Discovered, including this online counterpart. The site is in blog format, and comments are welcomed.
The older site (run Toby Widdicombe) can be found here.

Utopian Studies Group (The Graduate Center, CUNY)
The “Utopian Studies Group” is an interdisciplinary initiative that brings together CUNY Graduate Center students, faculty, and community members interested in the study of “utopia” broadly-defined. In addition to speculative fiction (utopias, dystopias, science fiction, fantasy), the group explores the philosophical, political, economic, religious, and cultural underpinnings of the utopian impulse as well as actual utopian instantiations (ex: digital space, virtual reality, critical pedagogy, grassroots movements, intentional communities).
