LSE and the Brexit referendum

The EU referendum was a time of immense activity at LSE, with a comprehensive set of events and publications helping the public make sense of the campaign.

In a new article for the LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog as part of their Brexit anniversary series, Professor Kevin Featherstone OBE, Emeritus Professor, reflects on how LSE navigated the referendum and what the legacy of Brexit has been for both the university and wider society.

We also interviewed Kevin Featherstone as part of our exclusive interview series, In the Brexit hot seat, which is featuring 10 voices from the LSE European Institute in the lead up to the anniversary of the 2016 referendum on 23 June 2026, to reflect on the impact and insights from Brexit, 10 years on.
