For the last 60 years, The University of Manchester has been at the forefront of Development Studies. To mark the occasion, the Global Development Institute has produced a short documentary telling the story of the Institute and its forebears.

Narrated by Professors Uma Kothari, David Hulme and Diana Mitlin, the documentary explores how the Institute has progressed from providing informal training for post-colonial administrators, to establishing Manchester as an influential centre for post-graduate teaching and research.

You can watch the short documentary on YouTube.

As part of the 60th celebrations the Global Development Institute Annual Lecture will be presented by the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark. The event is free to all but attendees are required to book a ticket.
