*A note on terminology

Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) are umbrella terms used in the UK in some instances to refer to all non-white people. However, we recognise that these terms are problematic, in that they mask differences in lived experience and outcomes for many different ethnic groups. Improving our community’s understanding of these differences will be part of our work on race equity at LSE.
