Dear all, I'm writing to inform you that Timmons Roberts of Brown University was recently awarded the International Sociology Association's Frederick H. Buttel International Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Environmental Sociology.
This is the highest award offered for the study of international environmental sociology. It's awarded once every four years to a scholar for the outstanding contribution to the international study of environment-society relations. The Award Committee recognized Timmons for his publication of 15 peer reviewed articles, 6 book chapters and 2 book manuscripts during the last four years. These works all take an international sociological view of issues including climate change, biodiversity, international aid and inequality, and have had a major impact on the field of environmental sociology. The Award also celebrates his work extending beyond the Academy. This includes numerous influential policy reports with the likes of the Brookings Institute and the International Institute for Environment and Development, extensive coverage in media outlets such as the *New York Times* and the *Guardian*, and his co-founding of three impactful organizations on international environmental issues: AidData, Adaptation Watch and Brown's Climate and Development Lab. Timmons also led a team this spring to draft and pass climate change legislation in Rhode Island -- an amazing accomplishment. In addition, the award recognizes Timmons for his exceptional commitment to teaching and mentoring students. Timmons accepted this award at the International Studies Association meeting in Japan in June. I hope you will congratulate him on this wonderful accomplishment.
