Conferences and colloquia

The Harold Wolpe Memorial Trust is committed to promoting research and dialogue on issues of social structure, class and gender, of the state, of government and politics, of social justice, and of social stability and cohesion.

To this end, the Trust regularly organises, hosts and sponsors conferences and colloquia.

The Trust works with leading intellectuals to conceptualise the content and delineate the parameters of these events.

To date, two conferences have been held. Some proceedings of these events are available via the links below.

In September 2006, the Trust hosted its tenth anniversary colloquium, entitled “Engaging silences and unresolved issues in the political economy of South Africa” at Monkey Valley in Noordhoek. Follow the links below to access copies of the papers.
