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.

The country was in political turmoil and it was feared that education would destroy society. This was the context in which the LMI was established. From its foundation, it was unique. Birkbeck traces its history from 1823 to thepresent, with Joanna Bourke using the history of Birkbeck to reflect on life and culture in London over the past two centuries. What does it mean to be educated? Why have Birkbeck''s students been prepared to give up so much in order to study for a higher degree? How does education help us become fully humanand self-fulfilled by learning how to use all our faculties - knowledge, imagination, sympathy? The story of Birkbeck contains some blood, oceans of scholarly sweat, and not a few tears. But it is also a story of laughter, intellectual excitement, scholarly eccentricity, collective as well as personal ambition, and, most of all, the quirky passions and personalities that make up the Birkbeck community. It is a story of a unique university but also of higher education of Britain. It shows howknowledge can empower people to better themselves and improve the world.

Birkbeck Av Joanna Bourke: En Unik Historie om Utdanning

Oppdag Birkbeck av Joanna Bourke, et dyptgående verk som tar deg med på en reise gjennom 200 år av Birkbeck, University of London. Denne boken fanger essensen av en tid da utdanning for arbeiderklassen ble betraktet som en trussel mot samfunnet. Med Bourke som guide, får du innblikk i hvordan denne institusjonen har formet moderne britisk høyere utdanning.

En Lively Narrativ

Joanna Bourke leverer en levende fremstilling av Birkbeck, fra dets grunnleggelse som London Mechanics' Institution (LMI) i 1823, til dagens utdanningslandskap. Da Birkbeck ble etablert, var analfabetismen utbredt; en tredjedel av mennene og halvparten av kvinnene kunne ikke lese eller skrive. Dette var en tid preget av politisk uro og motstand mot å utdanne arbeiderklassen. Hva betydde det å være utdannet i en så turbulent tid?

Utdanningens Kraft

Gjennom Birkbeck av Joanna Bourke blir vi også stilt spørsmål som: Hvorfor har studentene vært villige til å gi avkall på så mye for å oppnå en høyere grad? Og hvordan kan utdanning hjelpe oss med å bli mer menneskelige og selvrealiserte? Dette er ikke bare en akademisk historie, men en fortelling om lidenskap, ambisjon og det kicket av intellektuell utforskning som preger Birkbeck-fellesskapet.
