UofG philosopher recognised with £100,000 research prize
Profesorka Katharine Jenkins z University of Glasgow byla oceněna cenou Philip Leverhulme Prize v hodnotě 100 000 liber za výzkum v sociální filozofii. Z 400 nominací bylo vybráno 30 vynikajících vědců napříč obory; Jenkins získala cenu v kategorii „Filozofie a teologie“ za práci o sociální filozofii se zvláštním důrazem na gender a rasu. Využije stipendium k zamyšlení nad odstraněním útlaku, včetně rasistického a sexistického, a to s důrazem na roli umění, například opery. Ceny uctívají dosavadní úspěchy mezinárodně uznávaných výzkumníků a jejich příslib do budoucí kariéry; detailní citace vítězů budou později zveřejněny.
A total of 30 outstanding researchers announced as the winners of the 2026 Philip Leverhulme Prizes.
The University of Glasgow’s Professor Katharine Jenkins has been awarded a £100,000 Philip Leverhulme Prize in recognition of her research in social philosophy.
The Professor of Philosophy is among 30 outstanding researchers who were today announced as the winners of the 2026 Philip Leverhulme Prizes.
Chosen from over 400 nominations, the Trust offered five prizes in each of the following subject areas: Biological Sciences, History, Law, Mathematics and Statistics, Philosophy and Theology, and Sociology and Social Policy.
Professor Jenkins was awarded a prize under the “Philosophy and Theology” category for work on social philosophy, especially philosophy of gender and race.
Professor Jenkins, based at the School of Humanities | Sgoil nan Daonnachdan, said: “I’m honoured and delighted to have been awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize for my work in social philosophy. My research over the last decade has focused on understanding oppression, especially in relation to social categories such as race and gender.
“With the help of the prize funds, I will now also think about remedying oppression, including racist and sexist oppression, with a focus on the role of art. Taking opera as a case study, I will ask both how artworks can perpetuate oppression and how they can aid in remedying it.”
These prizes commemorate the contribution to the work of the Trust made by Philip, Third Viscount Leverhulme and grandson of William Lever, the founder of the Trust. They recognise and celebrate the achievements of outstanding researchers whose work has already attracted international recognition and whose future careers are exceptionally promising.
Professor Anna Vignoles, Director of the Leverhulme Trust, said: “This year marks the 25th year of the Philip Leverhulme Prizes. For a quarter of a century, this scheme has attracted extraordinarily high-calibre researchers, and selecting only 30 winners is always challenging. We are immensely grateful to the reviewers and panel members who help us in our decision making, and we are extremely proud to support these researchers through the next stage of their careers. The array of topics covered by their work is striking, from hyperbolic geometry to the philosophy of physics, educational stratification to the evolution of plant mutualism.”
Each prize is worth £100,000 and may be used for any purpose that advances the prize winner’s research. Detailed citations for each winner will be published on our website in due course.
