Award Ceremony to be held on January 20th, 2025 at Kings College London and online.
Before her death, Polly was working with WIN (Women’s Intelligence Network) and KISG (Kings Intelligence Studies Group) to set up a prize that would help to reverse the gender gap in academic intelligence and security. WIN and KISG set up the book prize with the sponsorship of Intelligence and National Security (INS), ‘the world’s leading scholarly journal on the role of intelligence in international relations’. It would have been beyond her wildest dream to have the award in her name.
