A departure from his usual philosophical material, “Kalahari Singing” is a memoir in the form of a novel regarding his time spent as a volunteer teacher in Namibia, according to a press release.

Beckeld’s main themes were his loving relationship between his students and the violence he witnessed while in Namibia.

The lecture free lecture that is open to all will cover the historical and cultural background of Namibia, village life, challenges citizens face and volunteering.
