Hanák Prize Winners

Since 1997, the History Department has recognized outstanding research by its MA students, and since 1998 this recognition has been known as the Péter Hanák Prize, in honour of the founding Chair of the department. One or more Hanák Prizes have been awarded annually. The Prize (a book gift) goes to the author(s) of the theses of the year deemed best on the basis of nominations by supervisors and evaluations by other faculty members.
