Led by the Vice President and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) with the Director of the PhD Academy and Head of Research Development as co-leads, the Research strand focuses on making sure our research and knowledge exchange activities contribute to understanding race equity within and beyond LSE.
Overview of Research actions:
- Increasing BAME representation among public speakers and visiting faculty
- Convening and curate existing LSE expertise on race, ethnicity and cultural identity through new web content, blogs and public events
- Embedding race within LSE research by encouraging and supporting faculty to consider issues of race, ethnicity and cultural identity within their research
- Commissioning research to understand the School’s present and past in terms of race equity and help shape the future
- Auditing imagery and representation across the LSE campus and website, and consider how to honour distinguished BAME alumni
- Targeting support and funding for BAME PhD students, in particular considering the interaction between race and socioeconomic background
- Auditing research support to identify and address any systemic inequalities affecting the career progression of BAME researchers
- Supporting and investing in new and innovative research on race-related issues, drawing on LSE strengths
These pages are being updated as the roll-out of the Framework continues and as actions are refined, with the input of our LSE community.
