Race, Prejudice and Change: A Special Lecture by Peter Gastrow

The Race and Resistance Programme at The Oxford Center in the Humanities, is honoured to host the Honorable Peter Gastrow, on the afternoon of the 11th of May, (Friday of 3rd Week).

Gastrow, a former Member of the South African Parliament, South African National Peace Committee, and special adviser to the Minister of Safety and Security, will speak about his personal experiences and insights in negotiating the peace process in South Africa, his public service during the country’s transition into a democratic government and his perspectives on contemporary South African political and racial issues. We are also honored to be joined by Wale Adebanwi, the Rhodes Professor for Race Relations, who will respond to Mr. Gastrow’s lecture with his own insights into South Africa’s history and contemporary challenges. The floor will then be opened to members of the audience for any questions or comments for Mr. Gastrow and Professor Adebanwi.
