Academy of Learned Societies for the Social Sciences
Call for nominations for new Academicians
The SPA is a member of the Academy of Learned Societies for the Social Sciences. In recent years we have successfully nominated a number of SPA members to become Academicians. This is a mark of distinction and denotes an outstanding contribution to the study and/or practice of social policy.
We have been invited to submit nominations for the next round of selection for new Academicians. Existing Academicians are entitled to make one nomination each per year, and 'learned societies' - such as the SPA - can make up to six nominations.
Nominations need to include the reasons for making the nomination - details of the nominee's contribution to the study and/or practice of social science; evidence of her/his contribution to the aims of the Academy; an up-to-date CV; and the agreement of the person being nominated. A copy of the form on which the nomination has to be submitted can be downloaded from the Academy's website - www.the-academy.org.uk. If you would like to propose someone to be nominated by the SPA, please complete the form from the Academy's website and send it to the SPA Hon. Secretary, Catherine Bochel ([log in to unmask]). All nominations will be considered by the SPA Executive before being ratified and forwarded to the Academy.
