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.</p><p style="font-family:'Open Sans', Verdana, arial;font-size:14px">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.</p><p style="font-family:'Open Sans', Verdana, arial;font-size:14px">The resulting <em><a href="http://www.acls.org/uploadedFiles/Publications/Programs/Reinvigorating_the_Humanities_in_Africa.pdf" title="Recommendations for Reinvigorating the Humanities in Africa" style="color:rgb(158, 36, 44)"><strong>Recommendations
