Scholarship shouldn’t evaporate.
You’ve organized an important workshop that gathers leading scholars of your field. Everyone contributes forward-thinking pieces on future research directions. The conference ends, participants go their own way—and the intellectual work it produced largely vanishes. Sound familiar?
Scholarship deserves better than a forgotten folder called “Workshop2023_FINAL_v2_REALFINAL.pdf.”
We make it easier to keep papers online, organized, and accessible: no expensive hosting, no institutional servers that mysteriously disappear, no endless email chains asking “Hey, do you still have a copy of that thing?” Our sites run on GitHub Pages, a free, stable platform that keeps workshop and conference work available long after the event itself is over.
The sites are built with Xanthan, which provides a clean design and plain-text structure without requiring web development skills. You keep control of the ideas and the files. The model is simple: transparency, sustainability, and access.
Histories of the Future
In early 2015, a group of historians of science gathered at Princeton to discuss representations of history in science fiction. Using a prototype version of the platform that Amaranth uses today, the workshop’s proceedings, participants, and existence remain well-preserved with literally zero upkeep or maintenance.
Histories of the Future
This website explores the variety of ways by which scientists and authors of speculative fiction alike have sought to define the future.
