London South Bank University social sciences lecturer Edwin Shaw has had the illustrious honour of being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of ArtsHome to some of the greatest thinkers of our time, the Royal Society of Arts was founded in 1754 as the first organisation in Britain to support the arts and sciences.

Edwin was nominated for his contribution to social sciences and ongoing interest in the subject. In recognition of his dedication to teaching he also won the LSBU Student Union's inaugural 'Outstanding Lecturer Award' in 2013.
"I have learned a lot from my colleagues at LSBU and I enjoy teaching students," says Edwin. "They are lively and often inspiring."
