The Social Policy Association is pleased to announce the launch of the annual SPA Awards. Nominations are invited for the following five awards: Lifetime Achievement; Best Newcomer; Outstanding Contribution from a non-academic; Best New Publication; Best Postgraduate Publication.
Please read the rules and criteria for each award carefully before making your nominations. The winners will be decided by a panel appointed annually by the SPA Executive and chaired by the SPA Chair: this year the judges will be Polly Toynbee (President of the SPA), Pete Alcock (Birmingham), Alan Deacon (Leeds) and Jane Millar (Bath). Winners will receive their awards at the special Gala Dinner held during the annual Social Policy Association conference, along with the winner of the SPA/SWAP undergraduate essay prize (administered separately by SWAP).
