Professor Margaret Jolly is one of the four ANU recipients of the Australian Laureate Fellowships.
The Australian National University congratulates four outstanding researchers who tomorrow will be awarded Australian Laureate Fellowships out of a total of 15 fellowships awarded nationwide. Professor Margaret Jolly, Professor Amnon Neeman and Professor Hilary Charlesworth are the local recipients; Professor Hanna Kokko will come from the University of Helsinki to pursue her research at ANU. The Fellowships will be awarded at a ceremony in Cairns tomorrow by Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research Senator Kim Carr. 'On behalf of ANU, I congratulate Professors Charlesworth, Jolly, Neeman and Kokko on being awarded Australian Laureate Fellowships. The awards enable Australia's finest researchers to conduct studies in areas of national importance, and all four ANU recipients are rightly recognised as among the world's best in their areas of expertise,' said Professor Chubb. 'These awards are richly deserved by all four researchers - who are at the forefront of international expertise in their chosen fields of evolutionary biology, human rights law, anthropology and mathematics.' ?We are particularly pleased to note that three of the four ANU Laureate Fellows are women, and that Hanna Kokko will come from overseas to join us for her important research. Professor Jolly, an historical anthropologist, will research the relationship between Christianity and material forces in the emergence of individualism in the Pacific region.
