Dr Mannay said:

“Given the history of the Dillwyn Medal and the reputation of the Learned Society of Wales, I was honoured to be nominated for and receive this award. It has been a wonderful opportunity for me to study and then teach in the Welsh context, and I hope to continue my research and work with students to ensure that Cardiff University produces new generations of graduates who can contribute to creating a more equal and improved social and economic landscape”
