Soga Studies Conference at the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study – March 24-26

Soga Studies Conference

The Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study and the Tiyo Soga Community Museum, Mgwali, is excited to announce the Soga Studies Conference to be held both in-person and virtually at the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study from March 24-26, 2022.

Studies on the work, theology, philosophies, and dynasty of the Reverend Tiyo ‘Zisani’ Soga have recently gained prominence in numerous disciplines and facets of life, with local and international relevance. Theorists, artists, and family members all over the world are engaged in several exciting aspects of Soga scholarship. Sikhumbuzo Makandula of Rhodes University and Joanne Ruth Davis of JIAS have conceived of this conference as a means to enable dialogue and new avenues for continued Soga scholarship. We believe it will be of great benefit to all of the many stakeholders who are invested in this work.
