Donate to the Paul Morris Prize in the Study of Religion
Support the next generation of Religious Studies students.
Over its history, the Religious Studies programme at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington has grown to be one of the largest and most influential of its kind in Australasia, with a longstanding reputation for outstanding teaching and cutting-edge research. Paul Morris was appointed in 1994 as the Programme’s Professor in Religious Studies and served for nearly a quarter of a century in this role before being made Professor Emeritus in 2019. Under Paul’s leadership, Religious Studies at the University expanded to become the flagship programme in the discipline nationwide, and the largest Religious Studies programme in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Paul Morris Prize in the Study of Religion celebrates Paul’s contribution to developing the Religious Studies programme at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington as a broad, critical, and independent discipline. Your donation will help us to award an annual $500 prize to an outstanding third-year student pursuing the study of religion, honouring Paul's work by encouraging the next generation of students.
