The Dr Cyril Timo Schäfer Memorial Graduate Student Conference Presentation Awards take place at the Association's annual conference. The purpose of the awards is to recognise excellence in conference presentation skills by ASAA/NZ graduate student members.
A number of graduate students gave high quality presentations at the 2022 ASAA/NZ conference “EMERGENC(i)ES” held at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington last month. ASAA/NZ is pleased to announce our 2022 award winners:

2nd Prize: Etienne De Villiers (University of Otago) for the paper “Remaking the trail: The reconstruction of dynamic therapeutic landscapes through communal tramping practices and its significance to the formation of personhood to older trampers in the Waikato”
3rd Prize: Imogen Spray (University of Auckland) for the paper “Silencing and Centring COVID-19: COVID-19 Conversation and Youth Emergenc(i)es in Pandemic Aotearoa”
