I'm a historian by training (PhD) and trade (teacher). I definitely approach the genre less as a fan of all SF and more as a scholar of science fiction between 1945-1985. Hence my site's focus.
Here's a recent article I wrote about about Clifford D. Simak and Organized Labor: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/2024/09/13/exploration-log-5-we-must-start-over-again-and-find-some-other-way-of-life-the-role-of-organized-labor-in-the-1940s-and-50s-science-fiction-of-clifford-d-simak/
And I lay out what interests me about the period here: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/about/
And a good place to start for more recent reviews and projects: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/2024/01/01/my-2023-in-review-best-sf-novels-best-sf-short-fiction-and-bonus-categories/
