Kelvyn is the first alumnus from Geography and Environment at Southampton to be awarded such a prestigious honour in the department’s 100-year history. The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences focusing on the study of peoples, cultures and societies, past, present and future. Each year, it elects up to 42 outstanding UK-based scholars to its Fellowship who have achieved academic distinction reflected in scholarly research activity and publication.
