    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.

  • 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.

As part of our commitment to deliver excellence in education, we are implementing an estate strategy which will create a major new campus at Birley Fields, linked to our existing accommodation at All Saints on Oxford Road. Our estate strategy will lead to us vacating a number of existing property assets. We will aim to ensure that these surplus assets play a full role in supporting the University’s future growth; in delivering Manchester’s economic growth ambitions and ensuring that there is a lasting legacy to the local community in terms of beneficial use. Our Didsbury assets provide a unique opportunity to meet the City’s need for high quality executive housing, to preserve and enhance important listed buildings, and to deliver new and improved education and community facilities. This Draft Regeneration Framework for our Didsbury property demonstrates how these aims can be delivered. Through the autumn period, we will seek the views of the community and other stakeholders before finalising the Framework. John Brooks Vice Chancellor Manchester Metropolitan University Page 1 All of these sites will be surplus to the requirements of the University and the University is seeking to secure beneficial re-use of the sites. This Draft 1 Introduction Regeneration Framework outlines the key features of University’s assets, how their development can deliver important benefits to Didsbury and the wider Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) is constructing a new campus at City area, and establishes some key development principles.
