=**Issa Shivji in South Africa**=

The Wits EPU invites you to a lecture by the renowned Tanzanian scholar, Professor Issa Shivji. Topic: The African University under Corporate Globalisation.

Date/Venue: Monday 6th March, 13H15, Senate House Basement 3, Wits
What is the role of an African University in re-discovering and re-imagining the intellectual and academic priorities of the African continent? How do we discover and create spaces for African scholars and scientists to challenge the more hegemonic development pathways? What are the linkages between University practice and developmental challenges? How does the 'way of the University' adopted from the past either facilitate or undermine realising this vision?

Professor Shivji has published some 15 books and monographs and over 75 chapters in books and articles in national and international journals. Books include Class Struggles in Tanzania (1976), Law, State and the Working Class in Tanzania (1986), The Concept of Human Rights in Africa (1989), Intellectuals at the Hill, Essays and Talks 1968-1993 (1993); Not Yet Democracy: Land Tenure Reform in Tanzania (1998) and Constitutional and Legal System of Tanzania (2005) (co-authored). Edited books include Limits of Legal Radicalism: Reflections on Teaching Law at the University of Dar es Salaam (1986) and The State and the Working People in Tanzania (1985). Some of the awards Prof. Shivji received include the First Tanzanian Professor of Law, Most Prolific Tanzanian Academician and Scholar of the Millenium (Law).
