The Christabel Pankhurst Institute #Manchester

The Christabel Pankhurst Institute for health technology research and innovation is named to celebrate the connection between The University of Manchester and Dame Christabel Pankhurst, a driving force behind one of the UK's most significant social reforms of the 20th century.

 

Christabel was brought up in Manchester, studied at the University and, in 1906, was awarded a first class law degree. She co-founded the Women's Social and Political Union and played a leading role in the suffragette movement which campaigned for women's right to vote in UK elections.

 

In naming the Institute after her we wish to honour a distinguished alumna and signal our ongoing commitment to equal opportunities and equitable provision in all aspects of academic teaching and research. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christabel_Pankhurst
