HUMA: a space of dynamic interdisciplinary community for scholars and students in the humanities at large
About us
HUMA – the Institute for Humanities in Africa - an interdisciplinary research institute based in the Faculties of Humanities at the University of Cape Town (UCT) - intends to create a dynamic community for scholars and students in the humanities at large. HUMA’s primary objectives are threefold: to undertake and champion Pan-African interdisciplinary research and exchange; to promote the next academic generation; to contribute to social commentary and debate that straddles academic and non-academic publics. Each is undertaken from the vantage point of our location in Africa, and an interest in establishing appropriate linkages and relationships elsewhere on the continent and globally. HUMA has an Afropolitan outlook with a Pan African approach. This guides the Institute’s work on building scholarship, research, collaborations and nurturing the next generation of intellectuals. HUMA's intellectual agenda is informed by one central theme – On Being Human – organised around four Research Clusters: (1) Humanity and its Limits, (2) Human/Non-human, (3) Humane/Inhumane, and (4) Humanist/Anti-humanist
