Please find featured below and attached a Call for Papers (CfP) for an academic conference at Birkbeck, University of London, being held to mark the institution's 200th anniversary.

Useful Knowledge, to be held at Birkbeck in February 2022 (ahead of the college's bicentenary in 2023), will feature talks by leading historians and critics including Sir Richard Evans, Sally Alexander, Jerry White and Marai Larasi.

The conference, being organised by Professor Joanna Bourke's 'Birkbeck Knowledge' research group, is set to focus on the long history of the college, but also on the past, present and future of part-time and mature higher education more broadly.

Professor Bourke's PhD students Ciarán O'Donohue and Jonny Matfin have recently launched a CfP, aimed at all academics with an interest in the history of part-time and mature higher education.

Please note the CfP deadline has now been extended to Friday, 5 November 2021.
