The 5th edition of the ZAM Nelson Mandela Lecture, which will be held at the International Theater of Amsterdam on the 16th of February.

The lecture builds on Nelson Mandela’s thought legacy on democracy, social justice, human rights and international solidarity and will be held by a prominent African personality. This year we are especially pleased to have John-Allan Namu, a courageous Kenyan investigative journalist and social justice activist, who will engage with the values and importance of Nelson Mandela’s thinking in our current, globally challenging, day and age.

For a conference that will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa, from 13 to 15 November 2025, we are inviting abstracts for papers on government involvement and concern for population well-being in later Antiquity (3rd-6th century AD). Selected papers from the conference will be collected in an edited volume on the conference theme.

We invite contributions on two key themes. First, how did the Roman state itself address issues of well-being—reactively or proactively? Second, how were issues brought to the state's attention by the general populace: through networks, petitions, or acclamations? What areas of population well-being were being addressed?
