The Mapungubwe Annual Lecture 2019 theme will cover such sub-themes as:
  • The apparent decline in global humanist and Left politics and the character of current trends in Latin America
  • The domestic political and social dynamics that influenced the outcome of Brazil’s 2018 electoral outcomes
  • The impact of ethics as well as safety and security on electoral choices and how the Left is perceived on these measures
  • Democracy in the era of fraught American (USA) politics and implications for global economic relations and geo-politics
  • Possibilities for the poor to protect and advance their socio-economic interests beyond formal political platforms
  • The strategic underpinning of the BRICS partnership and whether it can outlive the volatility of politics in the partner-countries and across the globe.

He has been proffessor at the Federal University of São Paulo (Universidade Federal do ABC – UFABC) since March 2010.
