February is LGBT History Month
31 Jan 2013
The University is marking LGBT History Month with events for everyone to enjoy!
2013 sees LGBT History Month focus on maths, science and engineering.
During 2012, Alan Turing’s centenary was celebrated – this gave us all the opportunity to focus on the great work achieved by this man who spent much of his career at The University of Manchester. We also learnt how he was persecuted due to his sexuality and the barbaric treatment he had to undergo to ‘cure’ him.
History demonstrates how times have changed in the UK, but there is still a lot of progress to be made around the world. We will use this month to raise the profile of LGBT people in science, maths and engineering and increase the profile of LGBT people in education.
