Active Fellowship Year

About the project

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme is a transformative experience that emphasises learning, connection and reflection. For both our Residential Fellows and our Non-Residential Fellows, the fellowship journey begins with an immersive year at the London School of Economics and Political Science , centred around key learning modules. It is an intense and demanding year that requires full commitment from Fellows as they join a community that helps to support, challenge, and deepen their learning and practice.

APPLICATION DATES

Applications are now open for the 2027-28 Cohort. The deadline to apply is 11 January 2027, 5.00pm UK time.

Our fellowship programme offers two tracks: Residential and Non-Residential. Participants in both tracks participate in rigorous academic coursework, leadership and skills development, and practical approaches to fostering social change.

Our curriculum and approach to learning brings together a structural analysis of global inequalities and examines the ways that people resist and challenge inequalities. The four AFSEE Modules consist of lectures, panel debates, presentations, group work, and community-building.

• The active fellowship year was a period of co-learning and encountering challenging questions about equality and justice. Being in AFSEE’s inclusive and stimulating space was a unique opportunity for me to develop my knowledge and research skills, share my ideas, and learn from Fellows, AFSEE team, and scholars at LSE.
