| University of Bristol / MEG Essay Prize |
In early April 2009 MEG held the annual conference at the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at Bristol University. In recognition of the kindness of the department in hosting the meeting, the MEG committee agreed to make a small ex-gratia payment to them.
The Bristol department in turn decided to award part of this small sum to the student whose essay that year had most closely reflected an interest in material culture. Her name is Emily Milsam and the topic of her dissertation was carnival cultures in Somerset, a most appropriate topic for a group whose 2008 conference had the theme of 'Ethnography at home' and one that points forward to the venue of our 2010 conference, the Museum of English Rural Life at Reading.
A copy of her dissertation can be found on the 'Publications' - 'Other Publications' page of this web site.
