The Susan Hayward Prize
Since 2010, the Susan Hayward Prize (named after the founder of the journal) has been awarded annually by the College of General Editors for the best article published in the journal in the previous year by an author who was registered as a doctoral candidate at the time of submission. The Prize consists of a cash award (£200 since 2021).
