Race-Related Support

At LSE, we're committed to fostering a truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment. A key part of this is empowering our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME)* staff to thrive professionally and supporting those who may have faced discrimination. On this page, you will find internal and external support services for people from BAME backgrounds.

*A note on terminology:

Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) are umbrella terms used by the UK government and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) to refer to all non-white people. However, we recognise that these terms are problematic, in that they mask differences in lived experience and outcomes for many different ethnic groups. Improving our community's understanding of these differences will be part of our work on race equity at LSE.
