Elected to British Academy Fellowship
Professor Peter Jackson, Emeritus Professor of Medieval History at Keele, has been elected to the British Academy Fellowship.
At its Annual General Meeting yesterday, the British Academy elected 38 new Fellows. Each of them is a highly distinguished academic, recognised for his or her outstanding research.
The Fellows represent the full range of the Academy's subject areas from early literature to law.
Sir Adam Roberts, President of the Academy said: "The new Fellows, who come from 23 institutions across the UK, have outstanding expertise across the board – from social policy and government, to sign language and music.
"Our Fellows play a vital role in sustaining the Academy's activities - from identifying excellence to be supported by research awards, to contributing to policy reports and speaking at the Academy's public events. Their presence in the Academy will help it to sustain its support for research across the humanities and social sciences, and to inspire public interest in these disciplines."
