The Department will host two events for Stellenbosch alumni in July. The first will be held on 26 July at the ING office in New York. The second, on 30 July, will be held at the Residence Inn Cambridge in Boston. Prof Johan Fourie will deliver a short presentation on 'The data revolution in African economic history', showcasing some of the latest research contributions of members of the department. Several members and former students of the department will be present at both events, and we invite alumni and friends of the Department and Stellenbosch University to join us for either of the two evenings. Please send an email to Reanne Olivier to register.
