This year’s festival will take place between Saturday 19 October 2024 and Saturday 9 November 2024. The theme is ‘Our Digital Lives’ and will explore the relationship between humans and digital technology.
Find out how to make healthier food choices when buying online, whether social media is a friend or foe, or enter the immersive performance of Granny Jackson’s Dead and many more.
We will also be partnering with The University of Manchester and the University of Salford again, hosting events across the city at locations such as HOME and the Central Library.
You can find more information about the festival on the Festival of Social Science website. For any enquiries about the Festival, please contact Katherine Roycroft.
