Social Fictions Series Series Editor Patricia Leavy USA
The Social Fictions series emerges out of the arts-based research movement. The series includes full-length fiction books that are informed by social research but written in a literary/artistic form (novels, plays, and short story collections). Believing there is much to learn through fiction, the series only includes works written entirely in the literary medium adapted. Each book includes an academic introduction that explains the research and teaching that informs the book as well as how the book can be used in college courses. The books are underscored with social science or other scholarly perspectives and intended to be relevant to the lives of college students—to tap into important issues in the unique ways that artistic or literary forms can.

ADVANCE PRAISE
“Edgy and provocative, The Male Clock is a creative blend of sci-fi and social science that takes the reader into a dystopian future where men’s fertility is threatened and societal norms of masculinities and femininities are turned on their head. Ideal for instructors looking to integrate diverse materials into their gender, sexuality, or families courses, The Male Clock is a useful pedagogical tool that will provoke students to question many of their taken for granted assumptions about men, women, sex, and parenting.” – Dana Berkowitz, Associate Professor, Sociology and Women's and Gender Studies, Louisiana State University “Years ago, I had great success encouraging my students to think about flexible alternatives to contemporary gender relations in my introductory gender studies course by using Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time – until my students started saying
