 \n\nGuest Speaker:\n\nProf. Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela\n\n \n\nIntellectual 
 Life in Academia and Researching Experience: On the Irreducible Nature of 
 Encounter\n\nMy project in this lecture is exploratory. I start with a 
 reflection on my own research\, and on how one's foundational ideas find 
 new life when revisited in light of new questions\, especially when the 
 inquiry is ethically rich and motivated by intellectual honesty - 
 revisiting one's ideas is part of intellectual life in academia. My work on 
 dialogues after mass violence has moved from a focus on forgiveness and 
 reconciliation to a close study of the subtleties of encounters between 
 people from different sides of violent histories. I will show that this 
 approach enables a language in which the focus is on experience\, and might 
 help us discover the possibility that people can\, and do face one another 
 in a way that enables solidarity to emerge as fragile\, unfolding processes 
 of orientation toward one another rather than positioning them against each 
 other in moral standoffs. The lecture underscores the importance of 
 critical reflection within academic research\, particularly when dealing 
 with the complexities of historical violence and its transgenerational 
 afterlife.
