British Academy Medal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Academy Medal is awarded annually by the British Academy to up to three individuals or groups. It is awarded for "outstanding achievement that has transformed understanding of a particular subject or field of study in ... any branch of the humanities and social sciences". It was first awarded in 2013.[1][2] It is the first medal awarded by the British Academy for any subject within the remit of the academy.[2] According to a reputation survey conducted in 2018, it is the third most prestigious interdisciplinary award in the social sciences, after the Holberg Prize and the Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research.[3] The British Academy medal is no longer being awarded since 2019.
