Abstract
Joanna Bourke’s 'Birkbeck' charts the eventful progress of the London Mechanics' Institution from its foundation in 1823 through its incorporation as Birkbeck College with the University of London to its pre-eminent position as a provider of part-time University education today. The history of Birkbeck presents a window on higher education and lifelong learning within a wider social context. In particular that history rehearses debates – still hugely relevant today – regarding what should be taught, to whom and who should decide.
