Dear Colleagues
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 unlimited 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, complete the form from the
Academy's website and send it to the SPA Hon. Secretary, Tess Ridge
([log in to unmask]) by Friday 30th October, 2009. All nominations will
be considered by the SPA Executive before being ratified and forwarded to
the Academy.
If you have any difficulty downloading the forms please contact me and I
will send you a form and guidance notes as an attachment.
Best wishes
Tess Ridge
