Worth $50,000, the annual Critic and Conscience of Society Award is one of New Zealand’s most valuable independent awards for a university academic.

The Award recognises university staff members who have used their academic expertise to publicly raise awareness or comment on an issue of importance to New Zealand society.

Some notable previous winners of the award include international relations expert Professor Robert Patman (University of Otago); legal expert Dr Dean Knight (Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington); microbiologist and infectious disease expert Associate Professor Siouxsie Wiles (University of Auckland), and freshwater ecologist Dr Mike Joy (Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington).

The Award was established in 2017 by Grant and Marilyn Nelson through their philanthropic company The GAMA Foundation.
