My New Friend

Submitted by: Grace Oswald
Date: February 2021
Location: Queen's Hospital, Romford

I usually work part time as a Healthcare Assistant in the Emergency Department. This photo was taken during my first ITU shift earlier this year- it was a night shift and I was already nervous to be working in a new area. I had the fright of my life (and actually screamed) when I switched on the light in the store room and found this disfigured hospital training doll. It was very funny and certainly made my new team laugh. I think it has now become a running joke to play on new staff- she seems to pop up everywhere!

NHS/Key Workers graffiti mural near LSE campus

Submitted by: Sarah Jewett
Date: 30 May 2020
Location: Sainsbury's (now closed), 71 High Holborn

I was walking for exercise around London from Rosebery Hall towards LSE in late May and was struck by this graffiti mural by Bowen and Blackmore (London street artists) on the boarded up Sainsbury's close to campus. It marked a point in the pandemic in which many sought to highlight the importance of key workers just about two months after the lockdown began and restrictions were soon to be eased up a bit. The woman in the photo was one of very few people I came across.

Three photos. Two from June 2015 celebrating the last day of exams with my colleagues in the MSc IPE program (one in front of the Old Building and Lincoln's Inn Fields). Another from Dec 2015, again in front of the Old Building, celebrating our last day together after our graduation ceremony. Looking at these photos completely floods me with happiness, nostalgia and a yearning to go back in time. My time at LSE was remarkable.

Political Science at the LSE: A History of the Department of Government, from the Webbs to Covid

Submitted by: Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey
Date: Autumn 2019-January 2021

This book began in autumn 2019, and continued throughout the Covid pandemic. It is being published by Ubiquity Press, as an open-source book, with a publication date of about 1st October 2021. It was meant to be part of the School's 125th anniversary celebration and is the first ever history of the LSE Government Department.

The contributors include students at all levels (undergraduate, masters, doctoral), working together with Gordon Bannerman (a British historian who previously studied at LSE) and Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey as Head of the Department. Moreover, we wanted to ensure that different perspectives were heard and so along with archival research, we included dozens of interviews with current and former academics, PSS staff, students and alumni. We wanted the history to have many voices, and I think that we have achieved that.

Completing this during Covid posed many challenges. First, we had only two months to conduct the in-person archival work in the library before the first lockdown hit. This posed a major challenge as it made access to the historical archives impossible. Fortunately, the research that had been done, together with on-line research, allowed us to move forward.

A second challenge was that we were all working from various parts of the worldCanada, Kenya, Lebanon, Poland, and different parts of the UK! So, just keeping the focus and momentum going as the pandemic raged throughout the world was quite the task. Somehow, each of us managed to bring our contributions to the volume at different times, as we were each facing our own Covid-related disruptions along the way.

A third challenge was obtaining the interviews as the turmoil of Covid took hold. Here, Skype, Zoom and phone calls made the interviews possible, and in some cases, were more convenient than in-person interviews. The real difficulty was that in spring of 2020, many interviewees were difficult to contact, given the on-going turmoil in everyones lives. But the fact that so many interviewees were willing to take the time for us is a real testament to the strength of feeling that many have towards the Department and the School more generally.

The book itself traces the emergence and evolution of the LSE Government Department from 1895 to 2020, focusing on the personalities that guided the development of the Department, the social and political contexts the Department existed within, its research agenda and course structure, and the location of the Department in British politics. It also charts the evolution of the discipline of political science in Britain itself. The volume is divided chronologically into four chapters, each covering roughly similar time periods in the Departments history and focuses on the events that shaped it: personalities, events, and location. Key themes are the development of political science in Britain, the impact of location on the LSE Government Department, the professionalisation of academia in Britain, and the microcosm the Department presents of British political life during each time period. The conflicts between progressive and conservative forces are a recurring theme which helps link the internal dynamics of the Department with the wider social and political contexts that occurred from the beginning of the School to its 125th anniversary.

Rustling nostalgia

Submitted by: Ruiqi Li
Date: November 2020
Location: On the way to campus from Bankside House [LSE halls of residence]

I was on the way to school with a few friends from Bankside; it was one of the first in person classes we had. Having just arrived in London and as international students coming from different places, we were eager to retain everything we see in the city in our minds. Autumn is slightly chilly and the streets were rather empty because of the pandemic, but it was a unique memory that felt strangely cozy and poetic amongst the chaos happening elsewhere in the backdrop.

During my first month as a student in the Global Media and Communications Track (LSE-USC) we were given the opportunity to spend a weekend at the famed Cumberland lodge. The weekend was packed with academic events along with fun activities to help the diverse student body familiarise with each other. In those two days, we discussed world events, understood the nuances of the course, laughed over trivial matters, and made unforgettable memories in the midst of the magnificent Windsor Great Park. It was in those two days that I truly became a #PartofLSE

In 2017, I moved to London to pursue my lifelong dream of studying at the LSE. I had applied to no other school and gave myself no option to fall back on, as there was no other school where I truly believed I could prosper and grow. The exceptional academic and administrative staff along with the vibrant student body made me feel right at home and I graduated from the institute in 2018, with a new confidence and outlook towards the world. I'm privileged to forever be, a #PartOfLSE
