We are excited to be partnering once again with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University to host the ESRC Festival of Social Science from 22 October to 13 November 2022 across Greater Manchester.

The Festival is now in its 20th year and the main theme for this year is ‘My Local Area.’ This will be a celebration of any and all aspects of social science research that relate to the Salford city region and Greater Manchester more generally. We have a range of exciting events taking place across this period, run by researchers across the Schools of Health & Society and Arts, Media & Creative Technology respectively.

Events include:

Other events are still being added to the calendar over the next couple of weeks, so please keep checking the ESRC Festival web pages for more detailed information and also for links to sign up to our listed events: https://festivalofsocialscience.com/events/partner/university-of-salford/

Professor Alison Park, ESRC’s Interim Executive Chair, said of the Festival:

“The ESRC Festival of Social Science offers a fascinating insight into some of the country’s leading social science research and its relevance to individuals, society and the economy.  This year we are celebrating the festival’s 20th birthday with hundreds of free events across the UK, including at the University of Salford. We hope the events are enjoyable and inspiring.”
