Why is contemporary Africa poor: insights from archaeology and deep history

Series

Africa Oxford Initiative

Embed

Professor Shadreck Chirikure, University of Cape Town, gives a talk for on using archaeology to learn about present day Africa.

Prof Shadreck Chirikure is a British Academy Global Professor. For the tenure of his Fellowship, he is based at the School of Archaeology in Oxford. Great Zimbabwe and Mapungubwe are iconic World Heritage sites of great national and international importance, but our understanding of the economies and networks that underpinned them remains surprisingly incomplete. Even the chronological sequence of development is outdated. This makes it impossible to track socio-economic, environmental and technological contexts associated with the rise, resilience and collapse of these significant early state formations. Shadreck’s research aims to illuminate material, biological and trade exchanges occasioned by Africa’s interaction with itself, and with the outside world, using up to date science-based approaches. The outcomes will enhance understanding of national heritage and roots through education in Africa and beyond.

A Forum for Reason: Reflections on the Role of South Africa’s Constitutional Court

Series

Africa Oxford Initiative

Embed

Prof Kate O'Regan, Director, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and a former judge of the South African Constitutional Court, gives a talk for the Africa Oxford Initiative.

South Africa’s transition to democracy in the early 1990s has been much celebrated. Two of the key elements of the transition were the adoption of a new constitution and the establishment of a new Constitutional Court. Now a generation later the constitution remains in force, but given the persistence of racial inequality and disadvantage there are voices questioning whether it is fit for purpose. In her talk, Professor O'Regan, who served as a judge of the Constitutional Court between 1994 and 2009, will discuss some of the main aspects of the Constitution, consider the role the Constitution and the Constitutional Court have played in the last 25 years and assess whether the Constitution is fit for purpose for the years ahead
