Sign up for our autumn Women@Manchester events

07 Sep 2022

All colleagues are welcome to sign up to our next series of online events

Virtual Networking with the Chairs of Women@Manchester – 28 September, 2pm

Join our Women@Manchester Chairs Adele MacKinlay and Rachel Cowen for a virtual networking session. All are welcome to attend, as we share experiences and explore ideas informally over tea and coffee.

Inspiring Women Leaders: Professor Nancy Rothwell – 10 October, 12pm

It is fitting that the first in our series of Inspiring Women Leaders features our own President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Nancy Rothwell – the first woman to lead our University or either of its two predecessor institutions. Alongside this, Professor Rothwell continues her neuroscience research as well as sitting on a number of high-profile Boards, including the current Chair of the Russell Group.  There will be a keynote and facilitated discussion with Nancy - questions can be submitted in advance as well as in the 'room’.

‘Men as allies’: Patrick Hackett and Professor Nalin Thakkar – 20 October, 1pm

Join our Registrar, Secretary and Chief Operating Officer (RSCOO) Patrick Hackett and our Vice-President for Social Responsibility Professor Nalin Thakkar for a practical session focused on what male colleagues can do (and what they shouldn’t do) to promote gender equity. Male allies play a vital part in creating and developing a truly inclusive workplace – and society. In this session, Patrick and Nalin will discuss the important role of male allies at our University.

Women@Manchester

W@M is a network open to women from across all parts of our University and in all roles.

The network is about creating a group who can learn from, work with and support each other’s careers whilst also continuing to accelerate gender equity within our University.
