Since 2014 BERA has awarded the John Nisbet Fellowship to one or more people who are deemed to have made an outstanding contribution to educational research over their career. Named in honour of our first President, this award recognises individuals who exemplify BERA’s commitment to encouraging educational research and its application for the improvement of practice and public benefit.
In 2022, we are delighted to announce the recipients as Pamela Munn and Steve Graham. Pamela is Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Edinburg and a former BERA President whilst Steve is Regents and the Warner Professor at Arizona State University.
Pamela will be joining us at the conference in Liverpool in September to receive her award alongside the recipients on the 2020 and 2021 fellowships and we hope that Steve will be keynoting at a future conference.
