What does it look like to ask an entire ethnic group to forgive another? How can we hope to speak across the fault lines of historic injustice?

This year, our annual Sir John Graham Lecture was delivered by South Africa’s Professor Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, a clinical psychologist and esteemed academic with a unique perspective on violence, trauma, and racial injustice.

Through her experience on South Africa’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and her decades of scholarship around the globe since then, she brings an incredible perspective on how societies and individuals can attempt to restore lives and relationships in the wake of historic and contemporary wrongdoing.

We sat down with Pumla before the lecture to record this podcast, listen to it here.
