On Tuesday 25 October 2016, Professor Richard Leakey, paleoanthropologist, conservationist, politician, and Fellow of the Royal Society, will give the keynote address at the annual Cambridge-Africa day. Professor Leakey has offered to spend an hour at CGHR with students and researchers later that day, discussing his experiences and thoughts on Kenyan politics and African politics, past, present and future. This is a unique and special opportunity for all interested in an informal discussion with a major historical figure in Kenyan politics and conservation in Africa.
