SOAS University of London is the leading Higher Education institution in Europe specialising in the study of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East. SOAS University of London is positioned to play a leading role in reimagining higher education globally, with a new strategic plan in place as the basis for the renewal and revitalisation of the school which commits SOAS to both student responsiveness and research intensity. SOAS is moving towards a new model of international partnerships which is responsive to the transnational character of our global challenge. 

About Us 

This post is a key element of a new partnership between SOAS University of London (formerly the School of Oriental and African Studies) and the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU) Educational Trust. The aim is to make available economic knowledge to workers at all levels of the trade union movement in Britain through new courses and educational materials. These will support core functions of organising and bargaining through developing a clear understanding of macroeconomic policies and modern political economy. As the UK is about to engage in a profound shift in economic policy, strongly emphasising industrial policy, this partnership is poised to contribute to more informed labour negotiations, better economic decision-making, and ultimately, a more equitable economic environment. SOAS is an international leader in political economy and has long experience in analysing economic policies. In collaboration with GFTU, it will help to train staff and activists to make a positive contribution to the changing economy.
