The European Institute is committed to supporting and respecting the rights of all individuals within our community, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
It is our responsibility to create a safe and inclusive environment for all and to promote diversity, acceptance, and equality within our community.
There are resources available at LSE, such as, Staff Networks, Student Societies, and LSE’s Role models and Allies Directory, that aim to support LGBTQ+ members of our community. The LSESU LGBTQ+ Guide is also a helpful resource for more information.
The European Institute’s LGBTQ+ safe contact is Department Manager Carl-Ludwig Campbell. You can reach them at c.l.campbell@lse.ac.uk.

In common with many other higher education providers, LSE has a directory of LGBT+ role models and allies.
This is designed to support people to feel confident being themselves while working and studying. Role models are LGBT+ members of staff at LSE (academics and PSS (professional services staff). Allies are people who do not identify as LGBT+ but who are willing to take a stand for promoting and supporting LGBT+ equality. Both the role models and the allies are available to support and speak with members of the LSE community.
