Professor Jennifer Robinson Elected Fellow of the British Academy
29 August 2024
We're proud to announce that Professor Jennifer Robinson has been elected as a Fellow of the British Academy, one of the highest honours in the field of humanities and social sciences in the UK.
This well-deserved recognition marks the importance of Professor Robinson's contributions to human geography, particularly her work on postcolonial critiques of urban studies, comparative urbanism, and global urban studies.
Professor Robinson's research, which spans urban development politics in South Africa, the UK, and broader African contexts, has been instrumental in reshaping the way urban politics are understood, particularly in relation to transnational and state actors. Her election as a Fellow of the British Academy highlights her influence in both academic and policy circles.

They will be joining聽a community of over 1,700 distinguished academics, contributing to a wide array of fields within the humanities and social sciences.
Please join us in聽extending our聽congratulations to Professor Robinson on this well-deserved honour.
