What is the state of South African democracy? The talk will examine the factors that led to South Africa’s negotiated revolution, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Mandela presidency, the ANC and post Mandela governments, economic and social developments, constitutional development, and the impact of the 2024 election on South Africa’s post-Apartheid and current foreign policy and the Government of National Unity.

Dr. Larry Shore is the Director of Analytical Media Courses. He teaches courses on Media, Sports and Society; Global Communications; Internet and Society, and Media and Politics at Hunter College – City University of New York (CUNY)

His research interests include media and telecommunications policy in the United States and globally, the impact of new media, and the effect of news on public opinion and foreign policy. In the area of media and sports his interests include issues of sport and race, women and sports, and sports and national identity.

Dr. Shore also periodically teaches a course called South Africa and Southern Africa During and After Apartheid in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program. A key part of this course is the weekend long Southern Africa Simulation Game.

He produced, and co-directed with Tami Gold, a documentary film RFK in the Land of Apartheid: A Ripple of Hope which has been screened widely in the United States and South Africa including PBS, the SABC, the Africa Channel and numerous organizations and film festivals in both countries. The film tells the story of Senator Robert Kennedy’s 1966 visit to South Africa- during the worst years of Apartheid- and the connections between the American Civil Rights Movement and the Anti-Apartheid Movement. See the website (www.rfksafilm.org) for more details.


The event is free and open to the public. A $10 donation is suggested, however, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
