‘Get Talking’ supports students who have applied to study at Birkbeck this autumn by offering them the opportunity to meet with alumni and find out more about College life.
The merger is important in supporting the work of the Open Library of Humanities; a journal publisher that aims to strengthen open access to scholarly work in the humanities disciplines, allowing everyone the freedom to access academic research.
Graduates attended remotely from around the globe, and a number have shared their remarkable personal stories in a series of blogs and videos.
The generous grant has been made possible by Arcadia, a charitable fund seeking to improve access to publicly funded research.
Action has ranged from members featuring in videos and vaccine trials, with notable Birkbeckians Romesh Ranganathan, Claudia Webbe and Kemi Badenoch taking part.
The gift will provide vital support and create essential pathways to study for non-traditional students.
The partnership will create opportunities for students from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, focusing on assisting students that have been affected by COVID-19.
The exciting new initiative will celebrate and showcase the impact that members of the Birkbeck community are having around the world, and we encourage you to share your story with us.
The Jean Monnet Chair is a prestigious European Union specialised teaching post, funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
We will welcome all students who meet the conditions of their original offer to Birkbeck, alongside those who we have already offered places to over the last few days.
