"In science fiction and speculative fiction, the plague often serves as a convenient agent to reduce the population, so as to focus on a small band of survivors, but in many cases, authors like to explore the transformation that occurs as a result of infection. And that transformation often calls into question what it means to be human, either by removing something essential or adding a new element. The social order also changes in profound ways. The infected have to adapt to survive, and sometimes that puts them in opposition with the immune/uninfected. What do the infected symbolize for us? (race, **capitalism, consumption, terrorism, patriarchy, etc?) How do the characters in these works deal with the Us vs. Them opposition forged through disease? What motivating functions do pregnancy/childbirth provide in Ma and Carson? How do these stories tend to flip the script on what is traditionally considered “monstrous”?" - Dr. Thomas
