Hi, I’m Hannah and my pronouns are she/her. Through my work as a peer supporter and on the Rejoin Stonewall campaign, I’ve already gained so much insight into what the queer community here needs. I want to work together with the LGBTQ+ Society and Spectrum to continuously improve the queer experience at LSE with the following goals:
Improving the experience of queer students:
-
Ensure regular meetings of the LGBT support group as well as holding weekly office hours myself
-
Campaign to streamline the IT system for legal name updates and ensure deadnames are not visible for students using a preferred name
-
Improve staff training on inclusivity in the classroom
Lobbying the university:
-
Continue the fight for LSE to rejoin Stonewall and the Workplace Equality Index
-
Meanwhile, hold the SMC accountable in effectively replacing the services provided by Stonewall
-
Increase funding for the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) division
Running queer events:
-
Put on another Pride Week event with a focus on visibility and intersectionality
-
Hold queer social events for underrepresented groups, such as for POC and for women and non-binary people.
-
Invite more trans and non-binary speakers to LSE
