The ASSAf Annual Humanities Lecture was inaugurated in 2017. Its primary purpose is to provide a platform, within ASSAf and its multidisciplinary suite of activities and projects, for showcasing and promoting the Humanities and its significance for social and human development. It does so through inviting a leading Humanities scholar to deliver a lecture on a question which is of interest in the country. Previous lectures focused on the student uprisings of 2015, the significance of Steve Biko for thinking about human equality and the role of intellectuals for the policy of apartheid. The 2020 ASSAf Annual Humanities Lecture will be presented by Angela Saini, award-winning author ot Superior: The Return of Race and Science. Click here for more information and to RSVP
