Battle of Holbeck Moor, Leeds, UK (1936):
30,000 anti-fascists with red flags and trade union banners turfed out Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts, who'd hoped to foment hatred against Jewish immigrant workers in the area.

In my role as PGR Rep, I'm proud to share the below statement from W+IGS and stand with all those advocating for inclusivity in academia.

As a non-binary PhD student, W+IGS has always been a welcoming space where I feel supported and valued.

In response to today's supreme court ruling, we want to urge any researcher in Trans Histories to consider a proposal to our new Queer & Trans Histories series - because research into Trans histories will help to shape Trans futures: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/series/queer...
