.....intends to provide some up to date info on my MA, which started this week at Birkbeck University London, and the work I am doing around it. The course - MA in Contemporary History and Politics - is a two year part time degree - with one 2 hour seminar per week to start with. It is assessed by essays and dissertation; the seminars involve lectures, presentations (not assessed) and discussions.

I'll try and keep you posted (deadlines dependent) on the weekly topics studies, external lectures attended, pieces written whether as part of course or not, current news stories I think are interesting, websites and texts of value, and political events such as protests or conferences. Basically anything political or historical; academic or journalistic; and nothing frivolous, biased or myopic.
