EDI at LSHTM
An introduction to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at LSHTM. Our vision is to provide an inclusive research, education and working environment reflected through a community that everyone feels a part of, which is safe, respectful, supportive and enables all to reach their full potential.
Decolonising Global Health & the Curriculum
This session will provide a brief overview of colonialism and global health, and LSHTM’s role in both. The Decolonising the Curriculum Group works to support the faculties to build their understanding of what is meant to decolonise the curriculum and what practical steps teams might take when doing so.

Learn about the Students' Representative Council (SRC) and its Executive roles ahead of the upcoming elections, as well as other opportunities to represent your programme and student interests at LSHTM.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a part of our daily lives and it provides significant opportunities for enhancing learning, teaching and research practice. This session will provide a brief overview of what AI is, how it works, activities it can be useful for, issues to be aware of and the relationship between AI use and academic integrity.
Welcome Fair (17th October)
Our Welcome Fair is the equivalent of a "freshers' fair", where you can find out more about the student services available to you and opportunities to get involved at LSHTM. Virtual Zoom stands will be open throughout the sessions so you can drop in and out of calls at your own pace, visit as many of the stands as you like and ask your questions. Full details of all the stands can be found on our Welcome Fair page.
