Susan Buckley

Acquisitions Editor, Education and Learning, Science Fiction

Susan acquires books on education, with a particular focus is the intersection of learning, media, and technology. Susan is interested in the future of higher education, international comparative higher education, issues of equity and access to learning, and in how people acquire the literacies needed to be active, critical citizens. Susan also acquires titles for the MIT Press’s growing list in science fiction. She is interested in how fiction engages with emerging technologies and systems, and is looking for works of or about SF that demonstrate how critical worldbuilding can both address contemporary problems and envision more equitable futures.
