Annual memorial lectures

In co-operation with its partners, the Harold Wolpe Memorial Trust hosts annual memorial lectures in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban. The primary purpose of the memorial lectures is to celebrate and advance Harold Wolpe's intellectual and political legacy.

Memorial lectures have been held in 2002, 2004 and 2005.

The memorial lectures are publicised via email databases and web sites maintained in each centre, as well as through networks, and through radio and the press. To receive notice of future memorial lectures in your region, add your name to the mailing list.
