Birkbeck traces the 200-year history of Birkbeck, University of London from its founding at a time when social elites deplored the notion of educated working people to the present day. Joanna Bourke writes a lively history of the institution, and how it contributed to the shaping of modern British higher education.
Joanna Bourke is Professor of History at Birkbeck College, University of London. She is the prize-winning author of books on multiple subjects, including histories of modern warfare, military medicine, psychology and psychiatry, the emotions, and rape.
