Grahamstonian, writer, broadcaster, philosopher and commentator, Eusebius McKaiser, will give the DCS Oosthuizen Academic Freedom Memorial lecture on Monday 30 May.
The title of his talk is "Epistemic Injustices: The dark side of academic freedom".
This annual lecture, dedicated to the memory of the philosopher DCS Oosthuizen, was started in 1970. Oosthuizen was Professor of Philosophy at Rhodes from 1958 until his death in 1969.
He was an outspoken critic of the apartheid regime – one of the first Afrikaners to speak out against it. He was once described by Andre Brink as a 'thorn in the flesh of the establishment'.
The lectures are organised by the university's Academic Freedom Committee.
The lecture is free and starts at 6.30pm in Eden Grove Blue.
