Crawford Prize Winner

Fiona Bridoake (English), who was conferred last year, has been awarded the Crawford Prize for the most outstanding thesis of 2007 in Social Sciences/Humanities. Only two prizes are awarded each year, one in Natural Science and the other in Social Sciences/Humanities, so it is quite an achievement. Fiona is the first HDR student in the School to receive the prize since the creation of the School in 2000.
