Kirsten Campbell, Professor of Law and Society, Helen Drake, Professor of French and European Studies, and Máiréad Enright, Professor of Law, have been recognised for excellence in their respective fields and their significant contributions to social science for public benefit.
The Academy’s Fellowship comprises around 1,700 leading social scientists from academia, as well as the public, private and third sectors. Fellows are selected through an independent peer review process that recognises both their excellence and their impact.
Speaking about the latest cohort of Fellows, President of the Academy, Will Hutton FAcSS, said: “I’m delighted to welcome these leading social scientists to the Academy’s Fellowship this spring. Their substantial contributions have furthered knowledge and our understanding in tackling a wide range of societal challenges. We look forward to working with them to further promote the important role the social sciences play in our daily lives.”
Loughborough’s Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation, Professor Dan Parsons, said: “We are delighted to see Professors Campbell, Drake and Enright recognised by the Academy of Social Sciences. Their election as Fellows reflects the outstanding quality of their research and their commitment to ensuring social science delivers real benefits for society. This is a proud moment for them and for Loughborough University, and we warmly congratulate them on this well-deserved honour.”
