The BIHG Thesis Prize was established in 1996. It is awarded annually to the best doctoral thesis on any aspect and any period of International History, which has been awarded a degree by a British University or a British University College or College of Higher Education during the calendar year.
In 2018 the BIHG were saddened by the death of Michael Dockrill, a former Chair of the group and one of the country’s foremost international historians As an gesture of recognition, the committee decided to rename the BIHG thesis prize as ‘The Michael Dockrill Prize’. It was felt this was particularly appropriate given the prodigious number of PhD theses Michael Dockrill either supervised or examined over his career.
The thesis is judged by a Panel drawn from members of the BIHG Committee. In judging the competition the Panel pay particular attention to originality of approach, thoroughness of research, style of writing and presentation, and contribution to historical scholarship.
The deadline for submissions for the Michael Dockrill Thesis Prize is Friday 26 March 2021. Individuals wishing to be considered for the prize should email a pdf copy of their thesis to Dr Martin Folly and Professor Gaynor Johnson. For very large files, it might be necessary to use a file transfer service such as WeTransfer.
