Master's Dissertation Prize 2023

Congratulations to Perry De Marche (Department of Social Policy) and Ségolène Le Stradic (Department of International History) for their prize-winning dissertations!

Every year, the LSE Middle Centre awards a prize for the best dissertation on the Middle East and North Africa submitted by a student on an LSE master’s programme. This year, the Selection Committee were pleased to see submissions from across the School covering a range range of topics and disciplines. All submitting students deserve credit for their work.

After much deliberation, we are pleased to award a joint-first prize to Perry’s dissertation 'Migration as Protest: The Kamour Social Movement, Emigration and Claims-making in Tatouine, Tunisia’ and Ségolène's dissertation ‘ La Guerres des Ondes : Radio Warfare in the Levant, 1939-1941’.

On the winning dissertations, the Selection Committee stated:

Both dissertations demonstrate commendable levels of conceptual and empirical originality.

The dissertation by Perry De Marche challenges prevailing push-pull models of migration to offer an empirically-grounded analysis of migration as a form of symbolic protest, where the abandonment of formal citizenship is used to realise substantive political gains. The nuanced discussion of claims-making across borders advances understanding on migration, citizenship and social movements.

There is also remarkable novelty in other winning dissertation by Ségolène Le Stradic , which is a study of radio broadcasting in the Levant between 1939-1941. Through careful analysis of a range of archival sources, Le Stradic advances historiography on radio broadcasting as propaganda and its relationship to colonial practices in the Levant.

The Middle East Centre extends its congratulations to both students for their outstanding dissertations!

Launched by the LSE Middle East Centre in 2018, this prize is awarded annually to the most innovative and significant LSE Master’s dissertation focussing on the MENA region.

Master's Dissertation Prize 2021

Congratulations to Yasmina Burgan (MSc Strategic Communications, Department of Media and Communications), Maya Fawzi (MSc Conflict Studies, Department of Government) and Sara Albertini (MSc International Social and Public Policy, Department of Social Policy) for their prize-winning dissertations!

The field for the 2021 Master's Dissertation Prize was strong and covered a range of topics within the field of Middle East Studies. We are pleased to award a joint first prize to Yasmina’s dissertation on digital activism in Palestine and also Maya’s study of the emotional experiences of second-generation Iraqis in the UK. The judges award the second prize to Sara’s analysis of the impact of higher education reforms for a knowledge economy in the Middle East and North Africa.

For the joint winning dissertation by Yasmina Burgan , the selection committee remarked: 'This systematic study of Palestinian digital activism was very impressive. With a strong command of the scholarly literature and in-depth qualitative interviews, the author generates a rich series of original insights on digitally mediated activism.'

For the other joint winning dissertation by Maya Fawzi , the selected committee commented: 'This is an outstanding dissertation on the emotional connections to Iraq of second-generation British Iraqis. Informed by a theory of emotional transnationalism, the author sensitively engages with her interviewees to uncover, and account for, their diverse place-based attachments.'

The selection committee also commended the runner-up dissertation by Sara Albertini , stating: 'This dissertation on higher education reforms in Jordan features an incisive analysis of the reasons why efforts to create a knowledge economy remain elusive. The findings on the marketisation of education have high policy relevance across the Middle East and North Africa.'

Launched by the LSE Middle East Centre in 2018, this prize is awarded annually to the most innovative and significant LSE Master’s dissertation focussing on the MENA region.

For all enquiries, please contact Kendall Livingston, Projects Coordinator: [email protected]
