    From the Margins to the Core? Conference Additional Programme Information Day 2 - Thursday 25 March 2010 Connecting or Competing Equalities? 09.30-09.50 Title: Diversity and cultural policy This presentation will suggest how contemporary concerns with diversity and difference present particular challenges for mainstream art historical and curatorial practice. It will locate Dr Leon Wainwright’s own practice, which overlaps historical research, collaborations with museums and galleries, and curatorial work. Briefly, he will set out the broader intellectual background on which the concept of ‘margins and core’ has emerged in the academy, and suggest why opportunities for exploring transnationalism may also become the site of ‘competing equalities’. The examples for this range from the institutional life in Britain of World Art Studies, and two exhibitions in Liverpool in 2010. Chair: Dr Jo Littler, Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Middlesex University As well as being the Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Middlesex University, Jo Littler is co-editor, with Roshi Naidoo, of The Politics of Heritage: The Legacies of Race (Routledge 2005), author of Radical Consumption?

It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities.

  • MAGPIE Report
    The MAGPIE programme A summary of the practice and impacts of a partnership between museums and schools in Manchester 2004-2010 Edited by Jael Edwards March 2011 Forward This report details the lasting impacts of an innovative partnership between Manchester Children’s Services, local schools and cultural organisations. The programme focused on increasing children’s enjoyment and attainment through creative literacy work. “The success of the Museum and Galleries Partnership in Education (MAGPIE) programme has shown that museums and galleries can have a measurable impact on the aspirations and attainment of pupils and increase the confidence of their teachers to work with cultural organisations. By working closely and sharing objectives with Children’s Services we can help pupils achieve their potential and use the MAGPIE model to create a sustainable and powerful legacy for partnership working.” Virginia Tandy, Director of Culture: Manchester City Council “One of the main successes of the MAGPIE programme has been the way schools have embedded museums and galleries partnership work into their curriculum. Some schools now have a creative approach to such work written into their whole -school policy; there is a strong network of Lead Practitioners providing peer to peer and school to school support and the training element of MAGPIE has enabled teachers to take on self-guided projects thus enhancing the projects and resources of the museums and galleries.” Wendy Middlemas, Head of Education Services, Manchester Children’s Services 2 Contents

  • Walls of Resonance: Institutional History and the Buildings of the University of Manchester
    Walls of resonance: institutional history and the buildings of the University of Manchester James Sumner Corrected pre-print draft, October 2012. Lacks images which appeared in the final version. If citing this work formally, please use the version published: Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Part A, 44(4), December 2013, 700-715, doi 10.1016/j.shpsa.2013.07.014. Why talk about walls? A wide range of research since the 1990s has focused on the material and spatial character of laboratories, museums, hospitals and other sites of science. Historians, geographers, ethnographers and others have traced how spatial arrangement and presentation have been influenced by, and have themselves influenced, the character of research, teaching, and communication with external audiences of various kinds.1 This paper addresses specifically how these insights may be used to let buildings stand for ideas – how the history of an institution or a discipline (known, for the most part, from established documentary sources) may be articulated through its material fabric. Over the past few years, I have led walking tours around the University of Manchester campus for a variety of audiences including undergraduate and graduate students, adult learners enrolled on the University’s former Courses for the Public programme, and members of the public attending events advertised as part of the annual Manchester Science Festival. Related work, developed with my colleagues at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, includes site-based historical survey articles for resources such as the British Society for the History of Science Travel Guide.2 The University has recently endorsed activity in this area through the appointment of Professor John Pickstone as advisor to the institution on its history and heritage.
