2019 Sir John Graham Lecture | Save the Date

OUR 2019 LECTURE

DELIVERED BY:

Professor Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela
Stellenbosch University

Friday, 5 July | Pullman Hotel
Auckland

Currently the Research Chair in Historical Trauma and Transformation at Stellenbosch University, Professor Gobodo-Madikizela’s work as a clinical psychologist on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa provided the basis for her multi-award winning book: “A Human Being Died That Night: A South African Story of Forgiveness.”

Since completing her doctorate at the University of Cape Town, Professor Gobodo-Madikizela has taught, studied, and spoken at academic institutions around the world, focusing on “questions of remorse, empathy, and forgiveness, exploring the role of dialogue when victims, perpetrators, and beneficiaries of gross human rights abuses have to live together.”

We are incredibly excited to be bringing Professor Gobodo-Madikizela to New Zealand for the first time to speak about her experiences and her work. We look forward to her valuable contributions to New Zealand’s ongoing conversations around issues of justice, relationship, grievance, and society.
