These awards are a celebration of student involvement and collaboration with the department. They are an important provision in valuing the hard work students put in to improve their experience and the Geography student community.
The awards are named in honour of Prof Robert Estall, whose legacy gift to the School funds the cash prizes. Prof Estall was Professor of Geography at LSE until 1989, and an Emeritus Professor thereafter. He was also an undergraduate student at LSE from 1952-55, and completed his PhD here in 1964.
