Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC)
At the start of the academic year, one or two students from each year of each degree programme are elected to be Student Academic representatives.
Student Academic Representatives represent their peers at the departmental Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) meetings. By attending these meetings, Academic Reps play a critical role in making sure student issues are addressed, by giving feedback on the quality of their programme and experiences as LSE students.
There is one SSLC for undergraduate students and one SSLC taught postgraduate students. Each SSLC meets once in the Autumn and Winter terms, and they are chaired by either the UG or MSc Departmental Tutor.
All current students can access the information about our SSLCs, including Student Representative names, previous committee minutes and other relevant details - please access the webpage linked on the right-hand side of this page.
Inclusion and Wellbeing Committee
The Anthropology Department invites students to become members of its Inclusion and Wellbeing Committee to shape departmental policies around equity, diversity and inclusion. This means ensuring that departmental policies acknowledge the diversity of the department and treats everyone fairly.
As a committee member, you will have an opportunity to:
1. Review and monitor departmental policies and practices concerning their impact on inclusion and diversity and, where appropriate, make recommendations for change.
2. Explore proactive policies that can address unconscious bias and promote a working environment in which concerns about inclusion and collective wellbeing can be freely raised and discussed.
3. Encourage departmental diversity through its hiring and recruitment processes, and in its public events programme.
4. Assist with the development of inclusive curricula, modes of teaching and assessment, and research plans, as required.
5. Review and discuss funding applications for EDI initiatives in the department.
Student Surveys
During the academic year, students will have the opportunity to feedback on specific courses through course-level surveys and on the experience at LSE as a whole in the Undergraduate Survey (for continuing undergraduates), National Student Survey (for finalist undergraduates) or the Postgraduate Survey (for continuing and finalist postgraduates).
