HDR Prize in Development Studies: Development Studies Association of Australia and Development in Practice
We are excited to announce that our HDR research article prize will now be awarded on an annual basis. This prize offers higher degree research candidates working across the broad spectrum of Development Studies the opportunity to achieve recognition within the field, and to receive editorial assistance to meet the requirements of the DiP guidelines in preparation for peer-review. Higher degree research candidates are encouraged to submit articles based on their areas of research.
