25 November 2018, Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park The study retreat at Cumberland Lodge is my most cherished memory from my time at LSE. Never before did I have the chance to ponder, debate, and appreciate International Relations so intimately with such outstanding, bright minds from around the globe. It was an experience that connected me deeply with my discipline and that created friendships lasting until today. And meeting HM The Queen, who in her lifetime has witnessed and shaped global events as only a few people in history, was a brilliant conclusion to a weekend I will never forget.

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

Academic knowledge is perhaps the least of all the things I learnt in my year at LSE. This is not to say that I didnt learn an incredible amount in the classroom, but to say that I also learnt so much beyond. I remember thinking when I first arrived that everyone around had an edge over me, some students were from Ivy League schools, they were better equipped, brighter; someone in my class even worked for Obama! My first day at LSE I literally googled in the simplest words possible - how to write an essay. I wasnt sure if I knew the right way to cite, or the right way to structure my paper. LSE showed me that you can truly achieve anything you set your mind to. Its a school that teaches you how nothing succeeds like excess; how to work hard, but also how to work smart. I was one of four people in my course, the MSc in Strategic Communications, to graduate with a distinction. Here is me just before the ceremony with my best friend Sanjana just outside Peacock Theatre, in December 2018. So proud of being an LSE alum!

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