My name is William Varney and I’m an International History undergraduate at LSE. After my first year studying in London, I now know the significance of the “international” perspective offered by my History department. Too often we accept contemporary viewpoints as objective truths instead of constructed narratives shaped by personal rhetoric and the uniqueness of lived experience. Having realized the importance of building empathy with the communicative actors of past and present, I am better placed to process information and make better informed decisions in my own journey at university and towards my career beyond the LSE. By tutoring with Dialogue Dynamics, I am being given the opportunity to help others hone these skills at a younger age. By passing on my own experiences, I hope to equip aspiring students and future leaders with the tools to think critically and independently. I look forward to meeting you!
