Janina Bauman Prize
Following a wonderful donation by the Bauman family, the Bauman Institute has established a prestigious award entitled the Janina Bauman Prize.
The award is given for the very best Dissertation submitted by a postgraduate student who is registered on either of the two Masters programmes offered by the Bauman Institute.
To be eligible for the Janina Bauman Prize, the Dissertation must address an area of “significant ethical or moral relevance”, which was a concern of Janina Bauman’s own writing. The final decision on the award will be made by an academic panel from the Bauman Institute, as well as a representative from the Bauman family.
The successful candidate will receive a sum of £1000.00 as a single payment.
Janina Bauman once wrote that the hardest challenge is to remain human in inhuman circumstances. Through her life and example, she showed what humanity meant: commitment, engagement, care, culture, humour: in a word, love.
