Ubuntu Dialogues Gathering
September 25-29th, 2023
East Lansing, MI
The Gathering is the second of two culminating events of the project Ubuntu Dialogues, a 2019-2023 partnership between MSU and Stellenbosch University funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Consistent with the feedback received following the first event in October 2022 at Stellenbosch University, the MSU Gathering will feature robust interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and transcontinental dialogues and engagements among students, scholars, practitioners, artists, activists, funders, and community and university leaders from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Barbados, Canada, and across the U.S. It is organized under the theme Pause|Participate|Practice and imagined around the compelling need to ground the theory of Ubuntu and the concept of dialogue in practice. The Gathering will culminate in the launch of a transcontinental and multi-hub Institute of Ubuntu Thought and Practice (IUTP), which seeks to promote and actualize a vision of academia, of communities, of the world, and of human interaction built on Ubuntu.
African Activist Archive Project Last Call
The African Activist Archive Project has built a unique, free digital archive of almost 14,000 items created by activists during 50 years of anti-apartheid and Southern Africa solidarity organizing in the United States. We are now making a “last call” to former activists for materials we can borrow to digitize and add to this digital archive. If you kept leaflets and other documents, posters, buttons, or photographs from organizing from the 1950s through the 1990s – or can help us find other people who might have saved these historical objects – we are eager to hear from you!
