Dame Joan Metge Medal

The Joan Metge Medal will be awarded from time to time to a social scientist who, working in New Zealand, has shown excellence in his or her area but also excellence in the utilisation of his or her social science training, research experience, teaching and/or working life to facilitate and create connections and opportunities among the various stakeholders involved in social science research. The Medal will recognise in particular those who have contributed to capacity building, beneficial relationships with research participants, mentoring of new researchers as well as contributions to new knowledge.
