Chipo Dendere at Worcester World Affairs Council

Chipo Dendere is Associate Professor of African Studies at Wellesley College. Her book, Death, Diversion, and Departure: Voter Exit and the Persistence of Autocracy in Zimbabwe (Cambridge University Press), shows how the exit of young, urban, and working professional voters because of mass death due to the AIDS pandemic and mass migration in the wake of economic decline has increased the resilience of a regime that may have otherwise lost power. With authoritarianism on the rise globally and many citizens considering leaving home, this work provides timely insights into the impact of voter exit.
