Dear All,
To clarify, we have awarded the 2006 prize so we are now onto the 2007
Prize, although obviously both prizes are for completed theses from the
previous year. So Neil's message just had the wrong date. The PhD prize for
2006 went to James Faulconbridge and the Master's Prize to Will Harvey.
(Mia's orginal message is pasted below...)
Hope that clears things up!
Best wishes,
Andrew

Dear All,
I'm delighted to announce that the EGRG committee has selected its
dissertation prizes for the best Ph.D. and Masters Theses.
The committee selected James Faulconbridge's thesis on "Local-global
geographies of tacit knowledge production in London and New York's
advertising and law professional service firms" for the EGRG prize for best
Ph.D thesis and Will Harvey's thesis on "Highly-skilled migration: An
analysis of immigrant networks in biotechnology" for the EGRG prize for best
Masters thesis.
James was a student at Loughborough University and is now a lecturer at the
Department of Geography at Lancaster and Will was a Masters student and is
now working on his PhD at the Department of Geography at Cambridge
University (and as such I abstained from judging the Masters prize!).
The prizes will be awarded at the upcoming EGRG Annual General Meeting at
the RGS-IBG conference in London. We hope many of you can make it.
I'm also happy to announce that the EGRG will be hosting a drinks reception
at the conference and we hope you can make that as well.
Congratulations again to James and Will.
Best wishes,
Mia Gray

Dear Neil,
I am not sure if there has been some confusion, but I was informed by Mia
Gray and Andrew Jones that I was awarded the best 2006 master's thesis by
the EGRG, but I notice that you are advertising for the new competition, or
is that for the 2007 competition?
Best wishes,
Will Harvey
