Research Professor in History and Politics at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WISER), Achille Mbembe, will deliver the keynote address at the 16th Annual Ruth First Memorial Lecture. As part of this programme, and in a bid to bring forward new young voices, two Ruth First fellows were appointed to look into this year's theme of migrancy and populism, Bongani Kona and Nickolaus Bauer. These fellows will present their work at the memorial lecture on Thursday, October 3, 2018.
