Founded by SFWA Grand Master and Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductee James Gunn, the J Wayne and Elsie M Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction is an endowed research and educational institution that originated at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS, with affiliations across the world. It is the first such research center. It emerged from the science-fiction (SF) programs that Gunn created at the University beginning in 1968, and has been growing ever since. The Center was formally established in 1982 through gifts and endowments as a focus for annual workshops, lectures, student and international awards, and an annual conference; plus university courses, fan groups, and other SF-related programs at the University of Kansas and beyond. SF author, scholar, and educator Christopher McKitterick is the director, and Kij Johnson is associate director.
