Closed: Atlantic Fellowship for Social and Economic Equity Programme 2019 (Fully funded to London/Cape Town)

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme aims to cultivate a sustainable and catalytic community of Fellows who are part of a global community of social change leaders. Through two tracks, Residential and Non-Residential, the Fellowship combines rigorous academic coursework with practical approaches to fostering social change.

Are you a social change leader committed to advancing justice and equity? Do you want to understand the processes that are causing and deepening inequalities? Are you willing to join forces with a global network of peers to mount a collective challenge to inequality?

Based in the International Inequalities Institute (III) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme is one of seven interconnected Atlantic Fellowships.

AFSEE Fellows work together to think critically about the root causes of social and economic inequalities and apply this to real-world practice. They are exposed to diverse ideas and perspectives in a programme embedded in LSE’s renowned research community and informed by activists and practitioners from around the world. They pursue outcome-oriented projects and are encouraged to develop a shared understanding of the principles and values of social and economic equity, and their relation to practices of community and leadership.
