The Race, Culture and Equality Working Group would like to recognise research conducted by undergraduate students on any issue related to the geographies of race, racism and equality. The winner will receive a cash prize.
Nominations are requested from Dissertation Supervisors or Heads of Department at any UK geography department. There is no limit of submissions per institution, but nominated dissertations should not be submitted for consideration for any other RGS-IBG prizes. Students taking joint degrees are eligible to enter for the prize, provided that at least half their course is in geography. The dissertations should be circa 10,000 words in length and submitted for formal assessment in the current academic year.
Please send the following via email or link (e.g. Dropbox) to Dr Amer Kanngieser; 1) a single PDF file of the dissertation (fully anonymised); 2) contact details for the student (post-September). Nominations should include “RACE UG dissertation submission” as the email subject.
The RACE Working Group has decided to suspend the UG Dissertation Prize until the Academic Year 2023–2024. Dissertations of the Academic Year 2022–2023 will be eligible for the Prize in the next round. Thank you for your understanding.
Deadline: 12 July 2024
