Series RAS BP/3 - 2020

In 2020 the Society was unable to hold an award ceremony due to the covid-19 pandemic. The judges reported a strong field of submission with three dissertations being of outstanding merit:

Liana Chase (School of Oriental and African Studies), Healing ‘Heart-Minds’: Disaster, Care, and Global Mental Health in Nepal’s Himalayan Foothills.
Hannah Theaker (University of Oxford), Moving Muslims: The Great Northwestern Rebellion and the Transformation of Chinese Islam, 1860-1896.
Hedwig Waters (University College, London), ‘Living from loan to loan’: Tracing networks of gifts, debt and trade in the Mongolian borderlands.

The Prize was awarded to Dr Liana Chase. At present there is no archival material associated with the 2020 award.
