About this Event

His recent donation to the Humanitarian Archive at the John Rylands University Library, inaugurated by Prof. Taithe in 2021, adds to the significant materials. They will explore Manchester's humanitarian legacy and their roles in preserving and narrating its stories.  


As part of a series of captivating conversations hosted by Simon Parry, Director of Social Responsibility and Internationalisations.
