CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 2005
About the Prize
The BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize was established in honour of the
memory of Professor Philip Abrams, whose own work contributed
substantially to sociology and social policy research in Britain. In
addition, he is remembered for the encouragement and assistance he
provided to many you sociologists at the start of their careers.
In recognition of his commitment to sociology as a discipline, the
British Sociological Association established this prize to stimulate new
ideas and fresh research in sociology by encouraging new British
authors.
