Center for the Study of Science Fiction
AboutSF Project

The Center for the Study of Science Fiction's newest project is AboutSF. A University of Kansas student employee serves as the project's Volunteer Coordinator; for 2005-2007, the Volunteer Coordinator was Thomas Seay, who is also responsible for AboutSF.com.; for 2007-present, Nathaniel Williams holds the position. This position is funded by donations to the Center.

The website is the project's resource center, hosting information about and collaboration on SF and education in the field. Among our projects:

• A speakers' bureau (Speculation Speakers) for futurists, science fiction and fantasy authors, and other experts on speculative thinking.
• Creating courses on teaching SF via the Center and the University of Kansas.
• Facilitating literature donations.
• Curriculum resources ( Curriculum Wiki for Teaching SF) for using and studying science fiction at the primary, secondary, and university levels.
• Hosting a consortium of SF-friendly university programs.
• Coordinating volunteer efforts across the speculative fiction field.
• And much more to be announced as it goes live!

AboutSF is a joint project of the University of Kansas Center for the Study of Science Fiction, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and the Science Fiction Research Association, with generous support from Tor Books, the KaCSFFS ConQuesT SF Convention, and several individual donors.
