About the programme
The AFSEE Fellowship gives change-makers working on social and economic inequalities time and space to reflect, refocus, build skills, and join a global network. The active fellowship year is hosted at LSE. Residential Fellows spend a year in London on the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science, plus four fellowship modules. Non-Residential Fellows stay in their home countries, develop a practice-based project, join modules online and in person, and earn a Postgraduate Certificate in Social and Economic Equity. Fellows then join a lifelong Senior Fellowship with access to funding, initiatives and the wider Atlantic Fellows community.
Duration: One active fellowship year, followed by lifelong Senior Fellowship
