Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity


Challenging inequality requires courage, compassion, commitment and knowledge 

Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity is committed, as a programme, to drawing on and bringing together the insights of academic research, innovative social change strategies, and our Fellows’ own broad and rich expertise.

Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity, housed at LSE's International Inequalities Institute, is an innovative fully-funded fellowship that brings together policy-makers, activists, practitioners, artists, and movement-builders from around the world to explore and challenge the root causes of inequality. 

Our fellowship is a home for thinkers, doers and change-makers whose insights help to shape and inform the International Inequalities Institute’s research. It is a transformative community that is working toward just and equitable alternatives to today's deeply unjust and unequal world. 

There are two tracks in our fellowship: Residential and Non-Residential. Members of the Residential track undertake the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at LSE during their active fellowship year. 

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme is supported by The Atlantic Philanthropies via a £64 million, 20-year grant aimed at building a catalytic community of 400 fellows. It is one of seven Atlantic Fellowships worldwide working to create a global community to advance fairer, healthier and more inclusive societies. 

Applications for the 2024-25 programme will open in Autumn 2023.
