Erin Daly and Zacchaeus Lim were recently awarded the 2015 Borrie Prize for best student papers on a population-related topic.

Erin (Masters of Social Research Advanced) won the Honours/Masters/Grad category of the prize for her paper titled Did the EU's Dublin Regulation fail as a migration policy? "This paper considers whether the European Union’s (EU’s), Dublin Regulation, which legislates how asylum seeker applications are to be handled across the 28 EU Member States, should be considered a failure in the wake of the events of 2015."

Zac (Policy Studies in CASS) won the undergraduate category of the Borrie Prize. His paper, The lost generations: a demographic study of the 1918 influenza pandemic's intergenerational impact within Australia, looked at "the pandemic's impact on the Australian population and thereby seeks to ascertain the presence of a sustained intergenerational impact."
