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.

The prize is the UK’s most prestigious political writing award.

Staff and students from across Birkbeck came together to celebrate the academic achievements of over 1,000 students during the College’s Spring Graduations.

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.
