Congratulations to Dr Randa Kachef, Lecturer in Environmental Geography at Birkbeck, University of London whose latest article for The Conversation explores why the UK's soft plastic recycling reforms have been delayed—and what this means for the future of waste policy.

What does postgraduate politics teaching look like at itself best?

Last week, our students didn't just study international negotiation -- they conducted one.

Representing different states, they ran a fully structured mock peace talk: chairing sessions, drafting agreements, and moving between plenary and breakout rooms as professional diplomats would.

This is Politics and International Relations at Birkbeck -- where theory meets practice, and the classroom becomes the world.
