Janina Bauman Prize
Following a wonderful donation by the Bauman family, the Bauman Institute has established a prestigious new award entitled the Janina Bauman Prize.
The award is for the very best Masters Dissertation submitted by a postgraduate student who is registered on either of the two new Masters programmes we are launching in September 2010.
To be eligible for the Janina Bauman Prize, the Dissertation must address an area of "significant ethical or moral relevance", which was a concern of Janina Bauman's own writing. The final decision on the award will be made by a panel from the Bauman Institute, as well as representatives from the Bauman family.
The successful candidate will receive a sum of £1000.00.
“Janina Bauman once wrote that the hardest challenge is to remain human in inhuman circumstances. Through her life and example, she showed what humanity meant: commitment, engagement, care, culture, humour: in a word love”
