HPGRG annually award an Undergraduate Dissertation Prize of £50 for outstanding work in the history and/or philosophy of human geography, physical geography or associated fields. We welcome nominations that examine geographical knowledge, discourses and practices across academic, public and/or private spheres. Nominations are requested from Dissertation Supervisors or Heads of Department and are welcomed from the UK and from other countries. The dissertation should have been completed within the past two years and it should be written in English. Depending on the number and quality of submissions, the prize may not be awarded every year.
The Undergraduate Dissertation Prize committee is:
- Dr Pauline Couper (University College Plymouth St Mark & St John, UK)
- Dr Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi (Royal Museum for Central Africa, Belgium)
- Dr Avril Maddrell (University of the West of England, UK)
Submission of an (unmarked) copy of the dissertation, together with a letter of recommendation, should be made to Dr Heike Jöns (Loughborough University). Deadline: 10 July (annually).
