 Join us to celebrate Hilde Himmelweit as part of LSE’s 130th anniversary
  programme\, honouring the life and legacy of Hilde Himmelweit (1918–198
 9)\, a pioneering refugee scholar and one of the very few women to hold a 
 professorship at the School in its early history.Appointed Professor of So
 cial Psychology in 1964\, she played a pivotal role in establishing Social
  Psychology as a recognised field at LSE and made internationally influent
 ial contributions to media and communication research. Her landmark study 
 Television and the Child (1958)\, the first major empirical investigation 
 of television’s effects in the UK\, helped shape debates about media and
  society for decades to come. Himmelweit’s remarkable journey\, from for
 ced migration to intellectual leadership\, offers a unique perspective on 
 the history of LSE\, the contributions of refugee scholars\, and the achie
 vements of women in higher education. Bringing together colleagues\, forme
