The British Academy has announced the election of 65 new fellows, pushing the total past 1,000 for the first time.
The new cohort, which takes the total number of fellows to 1,001, includes 42 highly distinguished UK academics ranging across the social sciences and humanities and 20 corresponding fellows from overseas.
There are also three new honorary fellows: former chief executive of the British Library, Dame Lynne Brindley, now master of Pembroke College, Oxford; Dame Carol Ann Duffy, poet laureate; and Sir John Eliot Gardiner, founder and artistic director of the Monteverdi Choir, the English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique.
“Elected from across the UK and world for their distinction in the humanities and social sciences, they represent an unrivalled resource of expertise and knowledge,” said Lord Stern of Brentford, president of the British Academy.
“Our fellows play a vital role in the work of the Academy: encouraging younger researchers, engaging in public discussion of the great issues and ideas of our time, and contributing to policy reports. Their collective work and expertise are testament to why research in the humanities and social sciences is vital for our understanding of the world and humanity.”
