"There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in." (Leonard Cohen)

Hello everyone, my name is Arianna and I am in my second year of the MA in Social Anthropology. This year I will run as your part time student officer at SOAS. As a part time student myself, I am aware of the challenges this may involve, such as lack of connection with peers and lecturers, or in some cases lack of motivation.

I am here to support you in your challenges and to involve you in social events, online or in person, while listening to your voices. This will be done through surveys and a WhatsApp group where I will be able to respond timely to your queries and concerns.

Together we can make the part time learning experience more enjoyable, thanks to changes and initiatives that I will liase with the School to improve your experience and welfare.
