Animal Geography Research Group undergraduate dissertation prize

The Animal Geography Research Group (AGRG) is pleased to offer an annual prize of £100 for the best undergraduate dissertation. In addition, we will announce a Runner-Up prize.

We are excited to receive submissions that explore human-animal relations or the spaces, practices, and experiences of animals themselves through a geographical lens. Submissions are encouraged from all areas of geography, especially human, political, cultural, urban, or economic geography. All award recipients will have their dissertations featured on the AGRG website.

Nominated dissertations should:

  • Be an outstanding theoretical and/or empirical piece of work
  • Be written in English.

We are looking to reward both excellent scholarship and innovation in the study of animal geographies.

The winners will be announced in September.

For further queries about the AGRG Undergraduate Dissertation Prize please contact Dr Jonathon Turnbull at jonathon.j.turnbull@durham.ac.uk

Winners of the prize will be published on the AGRG website annually.

Deadline: 22 July.
