Prize: Election to the Australian Academy of Social Sciences in Australia
Description
Leading socio-cultural anthropologist Professor Lyn Parker from The University of Western Australia is one of 37 eminent social scientists from across Australia to be elected new Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences.
Professor Parker believes her research is critical when considering the many serious environmental problems – including air and marine pollution, loss of habitat and loss of biodiversity – in the region, as well as the lack of knowledge about these problems.
President of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia Professor Jane Hall congratulated the new Fellows on their election, saying “they are at the forefront of social research and policy, and have made enormous contributions to our society as a whole”.
