Dr Laurence Brown will deliver the next Star Lecture.
The Star Lecture Series has been developed by the University to allow teachers and pupils access to exciting curriculum resources delivered by some of our leading academic staff. Filmed and recorded at the University, these lectures cover topic areas on the national curriculum and exam syllabuses, link students' studies to current research and offer an insight into university study.
The series aims to cover a variety of different subject areas and age ranges, from Year 9 to sixth form students.
The next Star Lecture, 'Migration and the Transformation of Manchester', will be delivered by Dr Laurence Brown on Wednesday 29 February between 1pm and 2.45pm.
Dr Brown is Lecturer in Migration History at The University of Manchester. His main research interests are the Caribbean Diaspora (1760-present), labour migration in the remaking of 19th century colonialism, and the impact of migration on contemporary Western Europe.
Dr Brown will discuss past and present migration, focusing on the industrial and post-industrial eras. He will examine the migration of different peoples to Manchester including Irish, Jewish, Caribbean and South Asian, as well as migration within the UK. This will lead to an interesting debate on segregation and multiculturalism in the city.
The event will take place on The University of Manchester campus and is open to pupils in Years 9 to 11. The talk links to topics within the GCSE History syllabus and will also touch on other curriculum areas such as Geography and Citizenship.
The event is free of charge. To register your school please complete the online booking form by Friday 10 February.
Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and further event details will be sent with the confirmation. If you have any questions in relation to this event, please email schoolsandcolleges@manchester.ac.uk or telephone 0161 275 1520.
