The International Inequalities Institute for Social and Economic Equity, London School of Economics (LSE) is inviting applications 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.

A range of characteristics in selected Fellows are looked out for, in addition to their alignment to the values-led programme and the fellowship offering.
