Science Fiction Research Association President Lisa Yaszek announced the 2010 SFRA Award winners in the following categories. Congratulations to everyone. I can say from my experience on the Mary Kay Bray Award committee for the second year that there were a lot of fantastic reviews and essays considered. From reading everything in this past year’s SFRA Review to side reading in Extrapolation, Foundation, and the New York Review of Science Fiction, to name only a few, I can see the field of science fiction scholarship continuing its asymptotic assent into wider significance within and without the academy. Is there a singularity future for science fiction scholarship? If there is, what will science fiction scholarship look like ‘on the other side’? I can’t wait to find out. In the meantime, here are your 2010 SFRA Award Winners:
