Statement of Intention
We live in a world full of potential and opportunity. Despite this, we face pervasive, structural issues. I enjoy questioning and deconstructing social norms with this in mind. I am passionate about being an active part in improving the lives of others and innovatively contributing to solutions for some of the structural inequalities we are witnessing today. Having danced competitively since childhood, I am a strong believer in the value of the arts in bringing people together across cultures.
About Maxine
Maxine is an MSc student studying International Social and Public Policy at the LSE. Having previously studied Law, she developed an interest in understanding how law and policy are experienced by different communities and demographics. This speaks to Maxine’s passion for equality, particularly racial equality. As a result of her work on race equality Maxine has spoken for Universities UK, Westminster Briefing, Times Higher Education, and has contributed towards a Guardian article by Harriet Swain. Most recently, she has been recognised as a fellow by the Royal Society of the Arts.
Beginning this work through the student movement, she has challenged anti-racism in education as Co-President: Democracy and Education at SOAS Students’ Union in 19/20; as a student representative during her final year of undergraduate study through ‘Bridging the Gap: a Student Collective’; and as an MSc candidate research assistant for LSE’s Social Policy Department.
