Professor Neta Crawford elected a British Academy Fellow
Neta Crawford, Montague Burton Professor in International Relations, has been elected a Fellow of the British Academy in recognition of her research into International Relations theory and security.
Professor Crawford’s academic work focuses on war, ethics, normative change, emotions in world politics, and climate change. Most recently, her book The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War, was shortlisted for the Project Syndicate 2023 Sustainability Book Award.
On receipt of the news Professor Crawford commented, "I am so pleased to be elected to an institution with such a distinguished history. What an opportunity! I look forward to engaging with other Fellows."
Professor Crawford was one of only 86 Fellows elected to the British Academy this year. Of this number, 52 were elected from 29 universities across the UK and twelve of the new Fellows were Oxford academics.
She joins a community of around 1,400 world-leading scholars and researchers working in the humanities and social sciences. Previous high-profile Fellows include Sir Winston Churchill, C.S Lewis, Seamus Heaney and Beatrice Webb.
Within Oxford politics, Professor Neta Crawford joins colleagues Professor Ben Ansell, Professor Rosemary Foot, Dr Sudhir Hazareesingh, Professor Stathis Kalyvas, Professor Desmond King, Professor Cécile Laborde, Professor David Miller and Professor Rana Mitter, who have also been recognised for their academic distinction and elected to the British Academy’s Fellowship in previous years.
