The collaborative team at UWC partnered with the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University, to honour the life and work of James Cone, who passed away in 2018. This was in line with the Centre’s commitment to providing a space to engage in conversations about Black liberation theologies, particularly for post-Apartheid South Africa. The work of James Cone focused primarily on the experiences of African Americans, racism, and the role of the black church. Two distinguished South African liberation theologians (Prof Nico Koopman, Vice-Rector: Social Transformation and Personnel, Stellenbosch University; and Prof Reggie Nel, Dean: Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University) were invited to reflect on the impact of the life and work of James Cone on their research and teaching. This event was important in advancing the thematic area of religion and politics in the Centre.

Desmond Tutu Centre for Religion and Social Justice

The Desmond Tutu SARChI Chair for Religion and Social Justice, Prof Sarojini Nadar , invites you to the annual public lecture, "Economies of Violence". This lecture is held in the month of August in recognition and commemoration of National Women’s Day and the Marikana massacre. These lectures scrutinise the “economies of violence” which continues to shape access to justice such as gender, religion, race and class and which sustains the indignity and the poverty that women, people of colour and marginalized men in South Africa disproportionately experience. The keynote speaker for the event this year is the world-renowned activist and academic Prof Khaled Beydoun (further details about the lecture topic can be found on the poster). Date: Thursday, 11 August 2022Time: 17h30 (GMT+2)Venue: 1 Buitenkant Street, The Old Granary, Cape Town CBD (The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation)Register asap as seats are limited: forms.gle/LGDBknRcenVVo24m8 or email dtc@uwc.ac.za.
