Annual Lecture 2010
We were delighted that Professor Siba Grovogui of John Hopkins University could give this year’s CSSGJ annual lecture on 2 December 2010.
Professor Grovogui is a major figure in contemporary International Relations, International Law and Postcolonial Studies and was a senior judge in Guinea prior to becoming an academic. Undeterred by the snow, Professor Grovogui gave a stimulating lecture on international relations theories and the question of race politics. The audience numbers were impressive despite the atrocious weather.
The annual lecture was accompanied by a workshop on the international politics of race which included Robbie Shilliam, Laura Brace and Sarah Knock. Professor Grovogui also gave an informal talk to students the following day. This was followed by an engaging interview, in which Siba Grovogui discussed the experiences that fostered his interest in international relations, international law and race.
