Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity Programme 2022

Overview

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity is a funded fellowship for mid-career change-makers from around the world. We bring policymakers, activists, researchers and movement-builders to the London School of Economics and Political Science, where they will work across disciplines and borders to understand and address the root causes of inequality. Fellowship program is looking for Fellows who are bold and ready to challenge power; who see the bigger picture of how inequalities are playing out; who are imaginative and daring in the way they envision solutions; who bring care and collaboration into their practice; who recognise the significance of lived experience of inequality and whose own lived experience informs their practice; who focus not on advancing their careers, but on their commitment to changing the world through collective and collaborative approaches. Fellowship begins with an intensive, rigorous learning period at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics, followed by a lifelong, practice-based commitment to social change through collective leadership.

Fellowship programme offers two tracks: Residential and Non-Residential. Participants in both tracks participate in rigorous academic coursework, leadership and skills development, and practical approaches to fostering social change. On completion of their active fellowship year, our Fellows join a thriving community of lifelong Fellows from all seven Atlantic Fellows programmes.

Policymakers, researchers, activists, journalists, and movement-builders from around the world are invited to apply to the 2022-23 Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Applications are open until 10 January 2022 for the innovative, inequalities-focused fellowship, which is housed at LSE’s International Inequalities Institute.

Currently recruiting for its sixth cohort, this fully-funded programme is aimed at mid-career social-change leaders with 7 to 10 years of experience, from across the globe, who are working to challenge inequality and are interested in spending one year of their careers with like-minded Fellows studying and reflecting on how they can take their fight against inequality to the next level. Applicants to the programme work in fields such as economic and social rights; sustainability and environmental activism; tax justice and economic alternatives; women’s, minority and disability rights; rights to education, health equity, housing, labour and community organising; and peacebuilding and transitional justice.

Tracks

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme has two different tracks: Residential and Non-Residential. Members of the Residential track also study the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at LSE during their active fellowship year. Members of both tracks participate in rigorous academic coursework, as well as sessions on leadership and skills development, and practical approaches to fostering social change.
