#birkbeckvoices

Mike Berlin, a specialist in the social history of London, discusses the history of Birkbeck as a place of refuge throughout the twentieth century, and how refugees have shaped the College. He also discusses how this legacy is continuing with the Compass Project - an initiative which will fund the study of twenty asylum seekers, beginning in autumn 2017. For more information on the Compass Project, go to: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/about-us/outreach/compass-project Birkbeck Voices, the podcast series from Birkbeck, University of London, brings you interviews with our academics, students, alumni and wider community. We cover the latest research and inspiring events taking place at the College and find out more about the people who make Birkbeck the place that it is.
