The RGS-IBG is very pleased to announce a new Research Award, the Jasmin Leila Award. This award is given in celebration of Jasmin Leila Sidaway.

The Award (£250) will be given as a supplement to one of the projects supported under the Society’s Small Research Grant scheme or as an independant award.

In tribute to Jasmin, the project to be recognised by the Award will have a focus on either:

• Medical and health geography
• Performance (especially any aspects of music, theatre, fashion and/or dance) and their geographies
• Transnational communities.
