The Manchester Esrc Festival of Social Science 2018 Think About the Future… 3-10 November 2018 THE MANCHESTER ESRC FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE 2018 THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE… 3-10 November 2018 across the UK http://www.esrcmanchesterfest.ac.uk/ #McrESRCFest THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE… On behalf of all the University partners we wish you a warm welcome to the ESRC Manchester Festival of Social Science 2018! The Manchester version of this national festival is now in its fourth year and it’s bigger and better than ever. For 8 days each November our mission is to take over Manchester and Salford’s museums, bars, theatres, classrooms and galleries to present the very latest in social science research. This year our programme features 36 events on a variety of themes including ageing, virtual reality, climate change, the future of work and employment, place making and cities, devolution and…dare we say it…Brexit! We’ve got presentations, workshops, debates, drop-ins, exhibitions, film screenings, club nights, participatory research and story-telling workshops. There’s something for everybody; from sensory workshops aimed at pre-schoolers to bus tours for older adults and everything in between. Every event in our schedule is underpinned by high-quality social science research – much of it funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. We believe that the challenges and opportunities that we are facing in the twenty first century; whether that’s Greater Manchester devolution, Brexit or the perceived lack of trust in “experts”; makes it more important than ever for our research to make meaningful connections with wider society. So yes, we want to use this festival to showcase what we consider to be fantastic research but we also want to get your feedback on this work; we want to hear what you think and we want your help in shaping the research agendas of the future. We hope that you’ll be able to come to something during the festival, that you’ll enjoy it and that you’ll help us to think about the future. For up to the minute booking information and details on our events please visit our website at www.esrcmanchesterfest.ac.uk/ and use our hashtag #McrESRCFest. Our launch event takes place on the 31st October at Manchester Museum.

  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. 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. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.
