Professor Elspeth Graham awarded RSGS Coppock Research Medal

Congratulations to CPC-CG member Professor Elspeth Graham who has been awarded the 2024 Royal Scottish Geographical Society (RSGS) Coppock Research Medal. First awarded in 1931, the Coppock Research Medal is the highest research-specific award for an outstanding contribution to geographical knowledge through research and publication.

An Emeritus Professor in Geography at the University of St Andrews, Professor Graham is also a founding member of CPC. She is currently a co-investigator on the Connecting Generations project 'Community resilience and social coherence' which explores how intergenerational connection is experienced in the community at the local level, providing evidence to inform policies promoting intergenerational fairness, community cohesion and 'levelling up'. Over almost four decades, Professor Graham has distinguished herself as a recognised and respected figure in the field of population geography, and in 2012, she became the first woman to be appointed Professor of Geography at the University of St Andrews. She has made many outstanding contributions to geographical research, and has played a significant role in shaping both global and Scottish policy.
