Student Profiles

Sangita Thebe Limbu

My programme is intense and challenging as it takes an interdisciplinary, intersectional and non-linear approach to gender studies. Engaging with diverse schools of thought has helped me develop a robust theoretical foundation. Although there are over 100 students within the Gender Institute, there is a great sense of community and belonging. Being able to discuss issues you are passionate about with like-minded friends and peers is just the cherry on top.

The opportunity to be able to work with leading academics and meet eminent personalities in your field coupled with interaction with a diverse student body makes studying at LSE a unique and enriching experience.
