Call for nominations for new Academicians
The SPA is a member of the Academy of 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 accredited Learned Societies’ – such as the SPA - can make 10 nominations per year.
Nominations need to include the reasons for making the nomination – a statement 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 short, up-to-date CV; the details of the two supporters from the academic community and the agreement of the person being nominated. Self-nominations are not possible.
A copy of the form on which the nomination has to be submitted can be obtained directly from the ACSS website (https://acss.org.uk/membership/ - application form for accredited Learned Societies) or the SPA Hon. Secretary, Tina Haux ([log in to unmask]). Please complete the form and return to the SPA Hon. Secretary by Friday, the 21st of April 2014. All nominations will be considered by the SPA Executive before being ratified and forwarded to the Academy. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
