Worldcon 2005 in Glasgow featured a whole heap of panels examining racism, post-colonialism, refugees, and 'the other' in SF. Some really great panel ideas, sadly often brought crashing down by the overwhelmingly white middle-aged and middle-class (and often male) voices in the audience.
Swancon 2008 is blessed by having two guests who examine similar themes in very thoughtful ways in their writing - Ken McLeod and Glenda Larke. I'm gonna be leaning on Dave to get some thought-provoking panels in the program.
