Part of the Manchester Classics Association Seminar Series

The Manchester Classical Association Branch was set up in November 1904 at the University of Manchester with a total of 178 members. Manchester Met’s Dr April Pudsey, Senior Lecturer in Ancient History, is the chair and the Public Lecture series is selected with our Manchester Metropolitan University research centres in History in mind: MCPHH and MCYS.

The Manchester Centre for Public History and Heritage (MCPHH) explores the complex economic, social and cultural inter-relationships which connect people, places and the past, from the choices made in conserving and commemorating visual and material culture to the intangible practices of heritage handed
down from generation to generation.

The Manchester Centre for Youth Studies (MCYS) is an interdisciplinary research centre. Our vision is for MCYS to become a world leader in youth-informed and youth-led research that positively influences the lives of young people.
