The New Year Honours, a set of awards that is part of the British honors system and presented by the reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II, recognizes the achievements of a wide range of extraordinary people across the United Kingdom.

A social anthropologist who works to create a globally sustainable future and a geographer who until recently headed the Economic and Social Research Council were among a number of British citizens cited for “service to social science” in Queen Elizabeth’s just-released New Year Honours lists.
