We recently had the pleasure of welcoming a group of Year 11 students for a morning at Birkbeck, exploring potential pathways in university and the world of Biomedicine πŸ”¬

🏫 The students were given an introduction to higher education and explored what life studying at university could look like, then joined Professor Sanjib Bhakta for a Biomedicine subject taster, "Fighting Superbugs: A Journey into Science & Discovery", which explored a significant area of scientific research and the role science plays in tackling real-world challenges.

πŸ‘ We're grateful for Professor Bhakta, our student ambassadors, and everyone involved in this big welcome. If you are a teacher or careers adviser interested in bringing your students to Birkbeck, discover more about the kind of support our Schools and Colleges Liaison Team has to offer.

In acknowledgement that we are now in I'm delighted to share information on this invaluable interactive audio archive that our colleagues have created:

Dr Eleni Liarou of Birkbeck, University of London worked on this from 2022-2024 with Sylvie Carlos (a PhD Candidate at King's College London) and a production team creating the pivotal podcast element. Well worth a listen!

To lift an explanation from the website:
"We employ decolonising methodologies to explore the BBC news archive and seek to reorientate thinking around the language of race and its uses. This is an archival and public engagement project that aims to reveal the ways in which the broadcaster constructed notions of national belonging in the 20th century. More importantly, inviting the public to reconfigure and reimagine the BBC's constructions for 21st-century audiences creates a 'living archive' that is active, dialogic and has the potential to continue to spark conversations, learning, creativity and change."

Don't miss this rare screening of the first experimental film by butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno and documentarian Chiaki Nagano. Released in 1969, A Portrait of Mr O was shot in and around Ohno's home, the boiler room of the school where he worked at the time, the uninhabited island of Sarushima in Tokyo Bay, and Hōshōji Temple in Yokohama, Japan.

The results are experimental and dreamlike, blurring the line between documentary and dance film.​

​The event will be chaired by Dr Irene GonzΓ‘lez-LΓ³pez (Birkbeck University), and introduced by Irene GonzΓ‘lez-LΓ³pez and Mai Burns. , director of Rebellious Bodies Festival. Find out more:
