Congratulations to Professor Richard Collier who has been awarded the Socio-legal Studies Association 2022 Prize for Contributions to the Socio-Legal Community
1 December 2022
Richard is one of our longest serving colleagues at Newcastle and we are delighted that his contribution to socio-legal studies has been recognised with this prestigious award from the SLSA. During his 30-year career, Richard has forged new areas of enquiry in socio-legal studies: in gender and masculinities, and wellbeing and the legal profession (for which he was awarded a Leverhulme Fellowship). In his teaching, Richard’s passion and care, along with his depth of expertise, support students to develop new ways of think ing, seeing and ‘doing’ family law. He has given invited lectures, examined PhDs, and co-authored with colleagues across the world. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Royal Society of Arts. He is a worthy recipient of this year’s SLSA award.
