To all list members who are members of the Social Policy Association:
The SPA is a member of the Academy of Learned Societies in the Social
Sciences, which aims to promote scholarship and practice in the
social sciences. As a member society we are entitled to put forward
nominations for Academicians - people who have made outstanding
contributions as scholars and/or practitioners in the social
sciences. Nominees must normally be based in the UK (there
is no citizenship requirement); committed to promoting
excellence in the social sciences through research, education and
service to the community; and willing to represent the interests of
social science.
The SPA normally seeks nominations of Academicians during the summer,
for endorsement at the Association's AGM in July. This year,
however, the Academy has brought the timetable forward and
nominations are required by 1 May.
If you would like to make a nomination, please let me know as soon as
possible (and in any case by Friday 13th April at the latest).
Nominee and nominator should both be members of the SPA. I will then
forward details of the information required for the nomination form.
Further details can be found on the Academy website
