Four University of Queensland researchers have been admitted to The Academy of Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA) in recognition of their outstanding research contributions to their areas of discipline.
Professor Charmine Härtel (UQ Business School) Professor Roland Bleiker, Professor Heather Douglas (TC Beirne School of Law) and Professor Katharine Gelber will be inducted into the Academy in October, alongside 42 other researchers.
ASSA President Professor Glenn Withers AO congratulated the 46 Fellows elected this year, half of whom are female.
“As women hold up half the sky, it is appropriate that these appointments affirm clearly that women and men are being recognised for their equal contribution to social science at the highest levels,” Professor Withers said.
