New research commissioned by Birkbeck has discovered an attitude shift among young people, with only 1 in 5 feeling that moving away from their hometown or city to go to university is important, and 50% wanting to get a job whilst studying.
Projects ranged from recovering the heritage of Stratford; the recognition of craftwork amongst Chilean prisoners under Chilean General Augusto Pinochet; to developing policies for innovation in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member states.
Professor Rob Briner and Professor Alexandra Beauregard delivered keynote talks at this annual event for staff, students, alumni and friends of the department.
Professor Marina Jirotka delivered the 2022 Memorial Lecture, which was an opportunity to celebrate the life and work of Kathleen Booth.
Dr Ashok Kumar was presented the award for the book ‘Monopsony Capitalism: Power and Production in the Twilight of the Sweatshop Age’.
This year four Birkbeck students progressed to the semi-finals of the annual competition.
Staff and students from across Birkbeck came together to celebrate the academic achievements of over 1,000 students during the College’s Spring Graduations.
The annual memorial lecture commemorates the founder of the Department of Economics, Mathematics and Statistics and former Master of Birkbeck, Professor Ronald Tress.
The majority of Birkbeck’s research (83%) has been confirmed as world-leading and internationally excellent in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), the UK’s official assessment of the quality and impact of research in universities, published today.
Graduation will take place from 3 to 5 May, with ceremonies being live-streamed so friends and family around the world who are not able to attend in-person can share in the excitement of the occasion.
