Why Fantasy Matters | Elizabeth Chapin | TEDxCamarillo
Fantasy isn't just for movies, TV shows, or books about dragons. In this TEDx talk, Elizabeth Chapin explores why fantasy should be at the core of what we do as human beings.
After graduating from Claremont McKenna College in 2015 with a Literature degree, Elizabeth has returned to her hometown of Ventura, California to pursue a career with the National Park Service. She currently works as an interpretive park guide at Channel Islands National Park. Her degree reflects her deep love of books and reading. Her senior thesis, which was awarded the Best Thesis in Literature for that year, explored the subject of women and the feminine in subgenres of fantasy literature. When she’s not teaching local students about the islands and their surrounding marine environment, she can be found devourin...

Science Fiction & Fantasy with Great Prose and Big Ideas
My main focus on this channel is classic literature, philosophy, and more — all the books that make up the Western Canon. But what about genres that aren't typically included in the canon?
In this video, I talk about several works of science fiction and fantasy that have tremendous literary value. These are books with great prose and interesting worlds that explore some serious ideas: the existence of other worlds, the value of cultural memory, and the lows and highs of speculative thinking.
Enjoy!

Fantasy isn't just for movies, TV shows, or books about dragons. In this TEDx talk, Elizabeth Chapin explores why fantasy should be at the core of what we do as human beings.
After graduating from Claremont McKenna College in 2015 with a Literature degree, Elizabeth has returned to her hometown of Ventura, California to pursue a career with the National Park Service. She currently works as an interpretive park guide at Channel Islands National Park. Her degree reflects her deep love of books and reading. Her senior thesis, which was awarded the Best Thesis in Literature for that year, explored the subject of women and the feminine in subgenres of fantasy literature. When she’s not teaching local students about the islands and their surrounding marine environment, she can be found devouring the latest fantasy novel or rereading Harry Potter.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
