Abstract
This paper reflects on the first decade (or so) of the History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group’s Undergraduate Dissertation Prize. Key themes in the submitted dissertations are highlighted, in Deleuzian-inspired vitalism and immanence, attention to the politics of knowledge production, and the emergence of critical physical geography. The paper also discusses the place of the prize in the broader context of the academic prestige economy, noting evidence that the practice of awarding the prize is shaped by, and perhaps reproduces, structural inequalities in academic work. The prize exhibits a particular geography and politics within the academic prestige economy.
