    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?

  • North Campus Strategic Regeneration Framework May 2017
    Corridor Manchester: North Campus Strategic Regeneration Framework May 2017 Introduction This Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) has been prepared for Manchester City Council, with the intention that it can be used as a guide for the future redevelopment of Manchester’s North Campus – a site that is located south-west of Piccadilly Station; to the west of the Mayfield site and to the east of Oxford Road. The North Campus is one of the few large, centrally located sites in Manchester city centre yet to undergo major regeneration. There are vast opportunities that have been identified in the area that will allow this part of Manchester to reconnect with the city and with other redevelopments in its vicinity. It is anticipated that the North Campus will be able to provide and deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits to Manchester and to the wider North West region. This SRF analyses the existing location and identifies key characteristics which make North Campus a unique area of the city. An indicative masterplan has been proposed which brings together the key objectives and principles described in this framework, and sets out a framework that will help to ensure the success of the North Campus development. Key Contributors The North Campus SRF has been supported by a high calibre professional team with recognised urban design credentials and leading specialisms in the field of progressive, sustainable working environments for public and private sector clients. The team comprises the following: Bennetts Associates
