We will showcase the imaginations of creators and fans, and will show the research and study of scholars inspired by speculative fiction. We are a volunteer organization under the auspices of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. We are working in partnership with the CSSF’s educational outreach program, AboutSF. After our initial publication in June of 2012, Ad Astra will maintain a stream of content through the year. We will also publish the proceedings of the annual Campbell Conference, which will include selected readings and presentations from Ad Astra. All submissions will be reviewed by volunteer readers and editors, as well as the advisory board. If you wish to contact us, please email any messages to the editor at the following address: [email protected] so that we can give you a more complete and private response than can be provided on social media.
