Finally, a commendation I somehow failed to mention until now. From Elizabeth Foxwell at The Bunburyist:
The latest recipient of the Dove Award—which is awarded by the Popular Culture Association’s Mystery and Detective Fiction Area and recognizes contributions to the serious study of mystery, detective, and crime fiction—is Stewart King, associate professor of European languages at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia). King, a specialist in Spanish and Catalan crime fiction, has edited or co-edited 6 books (e.g., The Cambridge Companion to World Crime Fiction, 2022), produced 35 book chapters and 28 articles, as well as co-edits the journal Crime Fiction Studies. He previously served on the editorial board of Clues: A Journal of Detection (I am managing editor of the journal).Past Dove Award winners include Martin Edwards, Barry Forshaw, Douglas G. Greene, H.R.F. Keating, Janet Rudolph, and Foxwell herself.
