Today, I successfully defended my PhD thesis. So greatful to my brilliant examiners for an engaging, productive discussion & forever indebted to my supervisor Prof Stacey Hynd for her support leading up to this moment. It's a wonderful day to finally be Dr Baldwin!
My talk at Basler Afrika Bibliographien in partnership with the University of Basel Hist Dept in Switzerland. I started by quoting the Day of Affirmation speech by Robert Kennedy at the University of Cape Town South Africa in 1966 during the height of Apartheid. More to follow
