    UK's first Digital Exclusion Heatmap launched

A new online Digital Exclusion Heatmap tool which shows, for the first time, a single nationwide measure of the likelihood of digital exclusion across the UK, has been launched by Go ON UK in partnership with LSE, the BBC and Local Government Association.

Dr Ellen Helsper, Department of Media and Communications, who developed the methodology behind the map, said: "The heat map is a wake-up call. It shows clearly how social and digital exclusion are closely related. The lack of basic digital skills and access in already disadvantaged areas is likely to lead to an increase in inequality of opportunity around the UK."

    Developing communication skills with HR Organisational Learning and the Young UK and Ireland Programme

Thanks to sponsorship from LSE HR Organisational Learning, Gemma Longmire of the Language Centre and Yvonne Olusoga, Library Services, took part in this year's Young UK and Ireland Programme, spending four days on the residential programme practising their public speaking skills together with 39 delegates from across the public sector.

Gemma said: "I enjoyed meeting all the delegates, who came from such varied backgrounds. There was a wide range of thought provoking speeches with one of the winners doing a dramatic monologue from the viewpoint of a cheating athlete and someone else used their speech to deny the moon landings. To be on the receiving end of a searching question session was quite challenging. It was a great experience and a good learning opportunity."

Yvonne added: "I found the programme very interesting and challenging. It definitely takes you out of your comfort zone and helps you to be more confident in public speaking and speech delivery. I would highly recommend it to other colleagues."
 

 
    Students more likely to feel part of LSE if they volunteer

Research completed by the LSE Volunteer Centre shows that 41 per cent of students feel that because of volunteering their sense of feeling part of the university has increased. Other key finding include:

  • The biggest motivator for LSE students volunteering is because they want to "improve things", with 95 per cent of respondents agreeing with this statement
    • 95 per cent of those that do volunteer would recommend it to a friend
  • 75 per cent think that their confidence in their abilities has increased due to their volunteering
  • 69 per cent think that the skills employers will value have increased through their volunteering
  • 45 per cent feel that because of volunteering their general well-being has improved.

David Coles, LSE Volunteer Coordinator says: "We’re not surprised to find that those that volunteer are more likely to feel part of the university and have an increased sense of well-being. Those that volunteer consistently say that they would recommend it to a friend, which also shows the quality of the opportunities our charity partners provide."

This year’s London Student Volunteering Fortnight (LSVF) starts today. The event, co-organised by LSE, UCL, Queen Mary, Imperial and City, is designed to get the students of London engaged in voluntary work in their local communities. Please encourage all LSE students to get involved.
 

 
    UK competitiveness and the Dragons’ Den effect

The World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Ranking 2015-16 saw the UK drop from ninth to tenth place, overtaken by Sweden. LSE Enterprise managed the UK-based executive opinion survey that fed into the report, for the sixth consecutive year, and found that the poor state of public finances in the UK was enabling other countries to pull ahead. However the UK scored highly in many areas.

Senior researcher Dr Robyn Klingler-Vidra says: "The UK’s performance reflects its ability to attract global talent, outstanding universities, top scientific research abilities and growing technology sector - the quantity and quality of tech startups continues to advance as a tangible output of the ‘Dragons’ Den effect’ - and continued leading position of its finance industry in the global financial sector."

    Michael John Wise

Obituary by Professor David Jones, Emeritus Professor of Geography and Environment

Long serving members of the School will be saddened to hear of the death of Emeritus Professor Michael Wise CBE, MC, on Tuesday 13 October, aged 97.

Michael was appointed as Lecturer in Geography in 1951 and rapidly rose through the ranks, becoming Ernest Cassel Reader in Economic Geography in 1954 and Professor in 1958. He was a big man with a kind heart and every bit a gentleman. His air of authority, charm and calming style provided assurance to those around him and led to his appointment as Chair of a number of the major committees in the School. He is probably best remembered for two things: being the (single) Pro-Director responsible for the change-over of Directorship from Ralph Dahrendorf to I.G. Patel (1983-4) and for his excellent portrayal of Father Christmas at several of the School’s Christmas parties.

As an academic he became extremely influential at national and international levels and is one of only two UK academics who ever achieved the distinction of being President of all three UK geographical societies (The Royal Geographical Society, The Geographical Association and The Institute of British Geographers) and The International Geographical Union (the other was Sir L Dudley Stamp who was also a member of the LSE Geography Department).

However, he did not restrict himself to purely academic activities, as is illustrated by the fact that he was Chairman of the Ministry of Agriculture Committee of Inquiry into Statutory Smallholdings (1963-67) and served for 20 years on the Department of Transport Advisory Committee on the Landscape Treatment of Trunk Roads (and later Motorways), ten of which he was Chairman. He was made an Honorary Fellow of LSE in 1988 in recognition of his services to the School.
 

 
    Celebrating 120 years of LSE

Did you know? LSE’s first Director was William Hewins. Just seven months before LSE opened, on 24 March 1895, Sidney Webb wrote to Hewins, a young Oxford academic: "It is now a matter of serious import whether the scheme can be carried through. I am still keen on it, and if it should be possible for you to help to a greater extent than we contemplated it might still be done." Find out what happened next to LSE’s first Director on the LSE History blog.

2015 is LSE’s 120th anniversary. Join in the celebrations at lse.ac.uk/lse120 #LSE120
 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Academics abroad

On Wednesday 21 October, Dr Ellen Helsper appeared in Lisbon as part of a panel on Delivering Digital Skills and Learning at the ICT (Innovate, Connect, Transform) 2015 Conference.

The session explored the role of technologies to deliver Digital Skills, and discussed how ICT can help deliver the training and learning needed to acquire digital skills, in the workplace and through formal education. Join the conversation with the hashtag #ICT2015.

Last week Jean-Paul Faguet, Professor of the Political Economy of Development, gave the keynote address at the LACEA/World Bank/IDB/UNDP Research Network on Inequality and Poverty, on his new book Is Decentralization Good for Development? Perspectives from Academics and Policy Makers.

Before that he gave book launch lectures at the Catholic University of Bolivia and the main public university in La Paz, the UMSA, along with a separate talk on Q-square methodologies for research on institutional reform at the Private University of Bolivia, as well as being interviewed about the book on one of Bolivia’s premiere TV news analysis programmes, "A Todo Pulmón".

He also attended the Latin American and Caribbean Economic Association annual meetings presenting two pieces of research, and also as a member of their Scientific Advisory Committee.

On Tuesday 13 October Dr Austin Zeiderman, Assistant Professor of Urban Geography, gave a paper at KU Leuven in Belgium at their Interdisciplinary Debates on Development and Cultures. The debate topic was "The Neoliberal City" and featured conversation between Dr Zeiderman and Professor Susan Parnell of the University of Cape Town.

    Heavy drinkers and drugs users underestimate their levels of consumption compared to others

Heavy drinkers and users of illegal drugs downplay their relative levels of consumption, when comparing themselves to others, reveals research by LSE and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

Published in the journal Social Science and Medicine, the research shows that 68 per cent of respondents to the Global Drugs Survey - the world’s biggest drug survey - were drinking at hazardous or harmful levels, yet the vast majority (83 per cent) felt they were drinking at low or average levels. The same pattern was evident across a range of illegal drugs.

Dr Michael Shiner, an associate professor in LSE’s Department of Social Policy and expert advisor to the Global Drugs Survey, said: "Given that drug use carries certain risks, whether this be to health, of getting caught or of damage to reputation, we shouldn’t be surprised that some people downplay their levels of use as a way of managing their anxieties about what they’re doing."

Speaker: Professor Ian Morris, Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs at LSE IDEAS for 2015-16.

In the last 50 years, knowledge of archaeology, anthropology, history, evolution, genetics and linguistics has exploded. A new synthesis of history is emerging, suggesting that people are all much the same and the societies we create all develop in much the same ways. What varies is the places in which societies develop. Biology and geography have driven a 150,000-year story of cooperation and competition. By projecting forward the patterns of the past and the forces that disrupt them, we can begin to see where the 21st century might take us. More

15th Hellenic Observatory Annual Lecture: The Hypocrisy of European Moralism: Greece and the politics of cultural aggression

On: Wednesday 4 November from 6.30-8pm in the Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House
Speaker: Michael Herzfeld, Professor of the Social Sciences and Curator of European Ethnology in the Peabody Museum, Harvard University.

Over nearly two centuries, Greeks were forced to fit their national culture to the antiquarian desires of Western powers, inhabiting a "non-modern" time and a marginal geo-political space. The West supported conservative politicians who maintained Greece’s status as a "backward" client state, while reproducing that inequity in their exploitation of their electoral constituents. Western moralism about alleged Greek "corruption," "laziness," and "irresponsibility" thus occludes the West’s own complicity in generating these attitudes. Greece and its patrons must now equally face daunting consequences; a balanced admission of shared responsibility would be a good start. More

with..... Professor Erik Berglof

I’m a Swedish economist. After almost a decade as Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, I am back in academia, in a multi-disciplinary effort to build the Institute of Global Affairs at LSE.

In previous lives I was Professor of Economics at Stockholm School of Economics where I built up the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics and founded a number of research-based think-tanks in Central and Eastern Europe and helped develop the New Economic School in Moscow. Prior to that I have had visiting appointments at MIT, Harvard Law School and Stanford University.

What does the Institute of Global Affairs (IGA) have planned for the next academic year?

The IGA is still very much in its build up phase. The focus is on setting up basic structures, helping the constituent centres grow and raising funds for future activities. But we are launching a series of "proof of concept" action research projects within our Global Policy Lab involving both LSE IDEAS and the regional research centres under IGA.

And among exciting events we have a one-day conference on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security with a public discussion on "Towards a Feminist Foreign Policy" between LSE alumna Zainab Salbi, Founder of Women for Women, and Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom on Monday 9 November.

If you could experience working in another department at LSE, which would it be?

One of the beauties of the IGA is that it spans ten departments and allows me to interact with many different disciplines, but if you ask me for one it would probably be Anthropology. On one hand it is very different from economics in its rejection of deductive theorising, but on the other it has a very similar respect for data. I am working with several anthropologists within IGA and enjoy that very much.

Which has been the most interesting LSE public lecture you have attended?

I haven’t been able to go to as many as I would have liked, but I was absolutely fascinated by the talk by the Indian writer Amitav Ghosh on Floods of Fire - his latest book on the Opium War. He changed my understanding of the history of the China-India relationship.

What three items would you take to a desert island with you?

A desalination kit, a computer with satellite Internet and a copy of the Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann.

Who would be your top five dinner party guests?

Five former students of mine who turned down lucrative careers in the West to go back and build evidence-based policymaking in their countries.

What would you do if you were London Mayor for the day?

Build Rome and declare Lincoln Inns’ Fields a nature sanctuary.
