Colonial Law and Missionaries in South Africa and Zambia

Guest: Alicia Haripershad (Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory). In this episode Christopher Murphy talks with Alicia Haripershad about her preliminary findings on the role of missionaries as legal actors in the British colonies of South Africa and Zambia. Given that missionaries contributed to the foundation of formal education in several British colonies, the discussion assesses their actions through a legal lens, identifying the impact on race, gender, and socioeconomic status for the indigenous population.
