At the AHP/Unisa forum, leading academics on the continent assessed the consequences of the marginalization of the humanities and offered suggestions to reverse this trend. > > Suggestions were of two kinds. The first, addressed to members of the humanities community, recommended actions to be taken by individuals, departments, and cross-institutional networks, without the need for external funding. The second, directed to international stakeholders and national governments, identified policy changes and targets for investment of resources. > > The resulting Recommendations for Reinvigorating the Humanities in Africa will be presented to national and higher education policymakers at the upcoming African Higher Education Summit in Dakar, Senegal, March 10-12, 2015. > > The Summit, being convened by TrustAfrica, is planned as a three-day event with the theme ?revitalizing higher education for Africa?s future.?
