Membership

Joining the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA) brings more than just membership in the oldest
professional organization for the study of science fiction and fantasy literature and film. Whether you
choose to participate in our annual conference or exchange ideas via our Listserv,
membership in the SFRA will allow you to engage like-minded scholars, writers, teachers, and enthusiasts
all over the world.

Our current roster includes students, teachers, professors, writers, librarians, futurologists, readers,
authors, booksellers, editors, publishers, archivists and scholars in many disciplines.

Members are encouraged to vote in association elections, serve on committees, hold office, participate
in conferences, and contribute to association journals and online discussions.

Please note that academic affiliation is not a requirement for membership.

All SFRA members are welcome to attend our annual
conference meeting,
held in a different location each year; this meeting brings science fiction and fantasy writers, scholars, critics, enthusiasts and a
guest of honor together for four thought-provoking days. Whether as members or guests, attendees are encouraged to present papers, discuss
common interests, and share knowledge and perspectives in a relaxed, informal environment. Several prestigious

awards
for achievement or service in the field are presented at the conference banquet.
