Purple social media certificate with the BISA 50 year logo, the words Joint WINNER and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Prize 2025 Toni Haastrup, Andreja Zevnik and Meghan Tinsley “We are honoured to receive the BISA EDI Prize for 2025. This recognition affirms the power of collective, sustained work to challenge structural inequalities in knowledge production. Our efforts are grounded in a commitment to accountability, co-creation, and amplifying voices and knowledges historically marginalised in international studies. We are especially grateful to our colleagues in Nairobi, Accra and Pretoria whose willingness to engage reinforces our resolve to continue pushing for spaces where decolonial, feminist, and anti-racist praxis can thrive.”

purple prize certificate with the BISA 50 year logo, Joint WINNER and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Prize 2025 Jessica Northey “I feel truly honoured to receive this EDI award from BISA. This will help me strengthen support to students and colleagues, particularly those who face the greatest barriers, and those whose voices need to be listened to. BISA itself has been an important platform for doing this, and through which we have commemorated and mourned the hundreds of scholars in Gaza who have been killed. I hope BISA members will continue to challenge the scholasticide in Gaza, and repression of peaceful protest in UK universities.”
