Awards

George Meszaros

George Meszaros was awarded an £11,000 grant by the Brazil Partnership Development Fund 2011-12. This is for a two year project, entitled Land Futures: the law, political economy and socio-legal impacts of contemporary transformation in Brazilian land tenure and use patterns. Initially this will support the development of a network with a series of partner institutions including the Federal and Catholic Universities of Parana and the University of Brasilia, later (2012) expanding to other Brazilian agencies including (the Institute for colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA)) the (Institute of Applied Economic Research, IPEA) and the Getulio Vargas foundation’s Centre of Agricultural Studies. The aim of the project is to establish a high quality multi-disciplinary network with Brazilian researchers and practitioners looking at land futures issues, but also to develop a multi-disciplinary research and publication cluster here at Warwick University.

Professor Alan Norrie

Alan Norrie's latest book Dialectic and Difference: Dialectical Critical Realism and the Grounds of Justice (Routledge, 2010) has been jointly awarded the Cheryl Frank Memorial Prize. The prize is awarded for the year's best and/or most innovative new writing in or about the tradition of critical realism. The Committee states that Dialectic and Difference expounds and develops dialectical critical realism and brilliantly demonstrates how it trumps the irrealism of the Western philosophical tradition in general and post-structuralism in particular.
