Through the Atlantic Equity Challenge (AEQ), AFSEE seeks to promote research collaborations between LSE academics and AFSEE Senior Fellows, as well as other partners where relevant. The research grant is envisioned as more than a funding opportunity: it is the beginning of a long-term partnership between the project teams, the AFSEE programme, and the LSE International Inequalities Institute.
Professor Armine Ishkanian, Executive Director of the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme, said: “As a programme that envisions a future with robust alternatives to our current global economy, we are excited to be providing this unique funding opportunity. The Atlantic Equity Challenge (AEQ) feeds into AFSEE’s aim of bringing together research, education, and practice, and creating dialogue among a range of different stakeholders, including academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers.”
“The AEQ also aligns with LSE’s 2030 Strategy Priority 2: Research for the World and we hope that it will foster research collaborations between LSE researchers, AFSEE Senior Fellows, and other practitioners who are working to identify solutions to the challenges of inequality in its many different forms around the world. Successful projects funded by the AEQ will propose new models, policies and approaches that have the potential to disrupt the systems and structures driving inequality,” said Professor Ishkanian.
