PSA Academic Prizes: Our Esteemed Judges for 2021-22

York, 13 April, 2022: The PSA would like to thank and recognise our esteemed judging panels and contributors for giving their time to judge our prizes and for all their hard work!

Each of our Academic Prizes is judged by a panel of experts from institutions across the country (and, occasionally, even further afield!) who give up their time voluntarily for the good of the discipline. We really could not have done it without them!

The PSA would like to extend its gratitude to every single one of the 25 judges and contributors this year for their expertise and commitment to the association and in helping us celebrate and inspire excellence in our discipline.
