Please join us for this fascinating Book launch: Amartya Sen by Professor Lawrence Hamilton on 18 May 2022 at 12pm at Senate Room, or livestream it if you can't make it. RSVP: [email protected] #books #wits #launch #amartyasen #events



I’ve been complaining about how the Daily Maverick went from sending me occasional emails about webinars to 5+ emails a day. But I must say I did enjoy the choice of phrasing for this notification:



Just got arrested by the SA Police Service 🇿🇦 while sitting in the back of an uber. Arrested because apparently: I was a foreigner. I had a gun. I had drugs on me. I was drunk. When all was proven wrong and I wanted to file a complaint, the cops ran away from the station

For everyone responding and saying why didn’t you just show your ID, I want to say it’s incredibly brave that Rekgotsofetse Chikane didn’t and chose instead to stand up to the regular brutality shown to foreigners by the police, with growing support by the South African public.

Just arrived in Hamburg and coming soon to a Hamburg Research Academy webinar: Christine Hobden, Iso Lomso Fellow at STIAS and currently visiting ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS fellow at HIAS Hamburg, will share her experiences as an international mobile researcher. More: bit.ly/3RvqzMf

Looking forward to this conversation on international mobility during the PhD and early career academia — join us at 12pm today! African Doctoral Academy - ADA Hamburg Research Academy HIAS Hamburg STIAS

Very timely book discussion HIAS Hamburg featuring the work of our Bucerius Fellow ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS Christine Hobden and @SvenjaAhlhaus from @WWU_Muenster. Curious to see how political theory can inform the political debate on citizenship law reform in 🇩🇪❓ #Staatsbürgerschaft

I really enjoyed reading Avia Pasternak's excellent "Responsible Citizens, Irresponsible States: Should Citizens Pay for their States' Wrongdoing?". My review is now available Res Publica Journal 🤓📖 link.springer.com/article/10.100…



‼️ Save the date: 30 March 2023 for our second Lunchtime Lecture. This time, Prof Tshepo Madlingozi will present "Social Movement Struggles for Decolonisation and (re)Constitution from Below: Abahlali baseMjondolo’s strivings against Pariahdom"
