Multiple BISA awards won by PAIS colleagues

PAIS is delighted to congratulate Drs Erzsebet Strausz and Jakub Eberle for their recent successes in winning British International Studies Association (BISA) Awards. Founded in 1975, BISA is a learned society which develops and promotes the study of International Studies, Global Politics and related subjects through teaching, research and the facilitation of contact between scholars. We are thrilled to announce Erzsebet's achievement in winning the BISA 'Excellence in Teaching International Studies' Prize for 2017, and Jakub's success in being awarded the Michael Nicholson Prize for best doctoral thesis.

Jakub, a Doctoral Researcher in PAIS, has been awarded the Michael Nicholson Prize for the best doctoral thesis in International Studies, for his thesis: 'Logics of Foreign Policy: Germany and International Interventions'. The judges remarked upon intense competition between excellent PhD theses for the award, but ultimately Jakub emerged as the winner given the strength of his psychoanalytical interrogation of German foreign policy logic and for how his thesis draws out the implications of the study for wider questions of foreign policy. Congratulations to Jakub, and to his supervisors Dr Chris Browning and Professor Stuart Croft.

We are also thrilled to celebrate the achievement of Dr Erzsebet Strausz, an Assistant Professor in PAIS, who has been awarded the 'Excellence in Teaching International Studies' Prize of 2017. The judging committee were unanimous in their verdict that Erzsebet should be awarded the title, remarking upon the incredible strength and depth of her pedagogical statement, as well as the extremely evident positive impact Erzsebet has upon her students during her teaching practice. Congratulations Erzsebet!
