Dr Brad West, Lecturer in the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies, is the winner of the Journal of Sociology Best Paper prize 2009-2010.

Dr Brad West, who was recently appointed a Lecturer in the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies (SPAIS), is the winner of the Best Paper prize 2009-2010.

Dr West’s paper is entitled ‘Collective Memory and crises: The 2002 Bali bombing, national heroic archetypes and the counter-narrative of cosmopolitan nationalism’. This mostly adopts an Australian perspective, although Dr West is currently developing his research more broadly to include the memorialisation of terrorism from the British perspective.
