DSA Members elected Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences
The DSA is delighted to announce that all of the nominations we put forward for Fellowship of the Academy of Social Sciences were accepted.
The Academy of Social Sciences recently announced the autumn 2021 awardees of Fellowships of the Academy of Social Sciences. The Fellowship acknowledges the contribution of those working in academia, the private, public and third sectors, to tackle, research and address some of the greatest challenges facing society. Evaluated by an independent peer review process, Fellows are recognised for the impact and excellence of their work and their wider contributions to social science for public benefit.
It is important that development studies is well-represented within the Academy and has a voice within this forum and beyond. For that reason, we are thrilled that the individuals we put forward have joined the impressive range of leading social scientists recognised by this honour. We look forward to our esteemed colleagues continuing to play leading roles in the advancement of our discipline and we commend them on their success!
