Two beneficiaries – a current student and a new graduate – were asked to share their LSE experiences and express their gratitude to the Annual Fund community. The New Futures Fund Scholarship offered me so much more than financial assistance, even if that is its primary purpose. Being awarded the scholarship motivated me to mentor a group of students from disadvantaged backgrounds at a school in South London, as part of the LSE Widening Participation scheme. I had previously intended to follow a fairly typical path for LSE students and pursue a career in finance. As a result of the mentoring programme I now would like to bring together these interests in my career – such as working for the World Bank. This is probably something I never would have previously considered were it not for the opportunities made possible by the New Futures Fund. Shagaana Sivakumar is a BSc Economic History with Economics student, expected to graduate in 2019 Funding from the Annual Fund is vital in supporting students. The New Futures Fund scholarship scheme opens up opportunities for those who have met the very high entry bar to obtain an offer but who would be prevented from taking up their place without funding. Beyond this, Annual Fund support for bursaries has also enabled students to take part in a Year Abroad exchange programme, attending Sciences Po, Paris, the University of California Berkeley, and the University of Melbourne. This only serves to widen their horizons. All of this has combined to benefit 55 students this year – easily the largest single philanthropic student support scheme at LSE – which helps to foster a lasting impact. Sue Plater, LSE Financial Support Manager LSE ANNUAL FUND 2016/17: THE YEAR IN REVIEW 7 STUDENT SUPPORT I commenced my studies in 2014 on a high after being granted a New Futures Fund scholarship, delighted to fully commit to my studies without worrying about tuition fees or maintenance. I feel privileged – LSE has brought with it many opportunities and I have not taken them for granted, while academically I believe I thrived. For example I was named as a ‘student to watch’ by Barclays, providing me with an opportunity to be mentored by some of its top female executives, finding out more about those who are breaking down the glass ceiling and paving the way for young women like myself. I will never meet all the people who were there in my moment of need – but I hope I can make you all proud. I am more committed than ever to having an impact on society and promoting equality. I am very grateful that alumni and friends of the School remain committed to supporting young students whose education might otherwise be blocked by an invisible but often insurmountable brick wall. Chrisann Jarrett graduated in Law this year and now works for Just for Kids Law The 2016/17 cohort of New Futures Fund Scholars thank donors for their gifts. 8 LSE ANNUAL FUND 2016/17: THE YEAR IN REVIEW TEACHING AND RESEARCH EXCELLENCE The Centre for Women, Peace and Security In 2016/17 the Annual Fund invited alumni and friends to support the Centre for Women, Peace and Security. The Centre, the first of its kind in Europe, aims to combat impunity for the sexual violence that destroys lives and communities, threatens sustainable peace and development, and destabilises society. Professor Christine Chinkin CMG FBA – who was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to advancing women’s human rights worldwide – is Director of the Centre. In her Annual Fund appeal letter, she urged alumni and friends to support LSE in finding answers to unfathomable questions, such as why women are tortured, kidnapped, sold into sexual slavery, humiliated, and shamed during conflict. Professor Chinkin also outlined how the Centre aims to make the world a safer place for women by developing research and practice; bringing together world-class scholars at LSE to advance thinking; influencing global policy-making; building partnerships with those working in the area; and consolidating and improving academic and international knowledge on women, peace and security issues. I thank all the donors who responded to Many of you responded generously to this appeal: thank the appeal on behalf of the Centre for you for your support.

The Annual Fund provides faculty and students with resources that allow for experimentation, innovation and collaboration between faculty and students in realising that ambition. The large scale investment that the School is making in the Education Strategy and the teaching estate will have a long term impact on LSE’s place as a centre for globally excellent teaching and learning, but the Annual Fund makes an equally significant contribution in ensuring that in each year of this long term development every cohort sees a considerable improvement in their experience beyond that of their predecessors. I am grateful to everyone who contributes to the Annual Fund each year.

    GENDER CRITICAL AT WORK Search MENU tuesday march 30 2021 Linda Bellos had said she would be ‘publicly questioning’ some transgender politics ROGER ASKEW Linda Bellos barred in Cambridge University row James Gillespie and Sian Griffiths Sunday October 01 2017, 12.01am, The Sunday Times Share Save A leading feminist has had an invitation to speak at Cambridge University withdrawn amid concerns that transgender activists could oppose her. Linda Bellos had been invited by the Beard Society at Peterhouse College and sent a list of dates — which were withdrawn after she said she would be “publicly questioning some of the trans politics . which seems to assert the power of those who were previously designated male to tell lesbians, and especially lesbian feminists, what to say and think”. Ailish Maroof, the co-president of the society, which describes itself as a “gender and feminism” group, replied: “I’m sorry but we’ve decided not to host you. I too believe in freedom of expression, however Peterhouse is as much a home as it is a college. The welfare of our students in this instance has to come first.” The prospect of laws to let men redefine their gender without a physical transition and then gain access to changing rooms and women’s refuges has angered many. “I’m not being told by someone who a few months ago was a man what I as a woman can or cannot do,” Bellos said. Maroof declined to comment.

SmartNews Keeping you current Officials say they want all passengers to feel welcome on the Underground (Matt Brown/Flickr CC BY 2.0) By Brigit Katz smithsonian.com July 13, 2017 In a bid to foster a more inclusive commuting experience, the London Underground is making a change to the way it addresses passengers. As Danny Boyle of the Telegraph reports, transit officials have decided to boot “ladies and gentlemen” from announcements on the Tube, opting instead for gender-neutral greetings. Underground staff have been instructed to begin their announcements with phrases like, “Hello, everyone” and “Good morning everyone.” The transit organization Transport for London (TfL) writes that “Ladies and Gentlemen” has also been scrapped from pre-recorded announcements. 1 of 2 7/18/2017 10:22 AM London Tube Scraps “Ladies and Gentlemen” Announcements | Smart ... http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/london-tube-scraps-ladies-... Mark Evers, director of customer strategy at TfL, says in a statement that the change was made because the organization wants "everyone to feel welcome on our transport network.” "We have reviewed the language that we use in announcements and elsewhere and will make sure that it is fully inclusive, reflecting the great diversity of London," he added. The plan to introduce gender-neutral greetings on the Underground was first announced in December 2016, after a transgender woman was mocked by transit staff. As Lucy Pasha-Robinson reported for the Independent at the time of the incident, 19-year-old Aimee Challenor was told that she “didn’t sound like a Miss” during a call to a TfL helpline.

    Aimee Challenor 58A Charterhouse Road Coventry, CV1 2BJ [email protected] Friday the 13th of July 2018 ‘Pride in London’ London LGBT+ Community Pride CIC, PO Box 71920, London NW2 9QN Dear Pride in London organisers, I write to you to present you with an Open Letter signed by over two thousand members and friends of the LGBTQ+ community in Britain and around the world. The letter condemns the transphobia that led the parade during Pride in London 2018, it calls for a full apology from Pride in London, it also calls for a change in the Board at Pride in London, to ensure that the failings that allowed the horrific exclusionary behaviour that was front and centre on Saturday never happens again. Signatories to the Open Letter are as diverse as our community itself, amongst the signatories are politicians, doctors, activists, teachers, trade unionists, prison officers, students, and so many more. There are signatories with long histories of campaigning for Equality, and there are signatories from members of the community who are in the closet. I sincerely hope you will hear the concerns of the community, that will truly apologise without the ifs and the buts, and that we will see genuine meaningful change, to ensure transphobia is not given a platform at Pride again. We have united to say there is #NoPrideInTransphobia, I hope you will stand with us. Yours, Aimee Challenor 20-year-old student Photographer Politician Trans woman. Letter condemning exclusion at Pride in London 2018 We the undersigned, members and friends of the LGBTQ+ community, condemn the horrific exclusionary behaviour that took place at Pride in London 2018.
