We are delighted to announce that Wales’s premier scholarly body, the Learned Society of Wales, has awarded Dr Annie Tubadji with the Dillwyn Medal.

Annie received her medal for her research into inequality, mental health and polarisation during the Covid 19 pandemic, which has gained international recognition. Her research focus is on culture-based development, and she was delighted to receive the Dillwyn medal in particular, because the Dillwyn family’s work combined intellectual curiosity and emotional intelligence. Annie’s research investigates how emotion is translated to the future of culture. 

Many congratulations Annie!
