The Peter Gutkind Prize
The Department offers the Peter Gutkind prize to the student submitting the best undergraduate dissertation each summer. The prize is of book tokens to the value of £100.
Professor Peter Gutkind was a distinguished social anthropologist who was associated with the Department from 1986 until his death in 2001. For a number of years Peter taught our ‘Sociology of Developing Societies’ module and also supervised dissertations. His commitment to teaching was always exemplary and this prize is to commemorate his contribution to the Department.
