This morning I received the following email from Paul van der Velde, the Secretary of the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS): 

It is my pleasure to inform you - it was already announced during the IBP 2013 Award Ceremony in Macao on 25 June 2013 - that you have won the IBP Reading Committee Ground-breaking Subject Matter Accolade in the Social Sciences for your Ph.D Negotiating Intimacy: Transactional Sex and Relationships Among Cambodian Professional Girlfriends (2010).

ICAS is the premier international gathering in the field of Asian Studies. Their International Book Prize (IBP) is a prestigious award granted for both books and dissertations written about Asia in the fields Humanities and Social Sciences. Out of 100 PhD dissertation submissions, mine was chosen for its Ground-breaking Subject Matter in the Social Sciences. My name was read aloud at the 2013 ICAS Award Ceremony in Macao on June 25, 2013. I received my PhD in Social Science and Media Communications from Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2010, under the supervision of Angela McRobbie.  It's nice to see it getting some recognition!

Heidi,
I googled your name last night after hearing your monograph widely praised on the BBC's Thinking Allowed program. Congratulations on your growing eminence.
I live in Chiang Mai and write (much more prosaically) for the expat audience about Thai life and culture.
If you're available, I'd love to buy you lunch at the new Pun-Pun restaurant up the road from CMU's top gate on Suthep Road...

Best wishes,

Godfree
