  • Summary

  • The humanities have long been vital to the creative and critical energies of societies in the throes of profound change. Launched in 2010, HUMA – the Institute for Humanities in Africa – intends to create a space of dynamic interdisciplinary community for scholars and students in the humanities at large. Fostering top-end academic research, HUMA draws on its work to nurture critical public debate, promoting UCT’s vision of itself as a civic and ‘Afropolitan’ university contributing to the making of democratic citizenship. Located in the Faculties of Humanities at the University of Cape Town (UCT), HUMA takes a broad view of the humanities, encompassing other scientific endeavours such as STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) that place the humanities at the core of their work. HUMA is a hub of innovative research that opens up new areas of interdisciplinary inquiry and establishes strong connections between scholars in the institute, within UCT, nationally and with comparable institutes elsewhere. Welcome to the HUMA podcast channel.

Il explique que l’objectif de la mise en place de la revue est de faire émerger un chantier épistémologique fondamental à partir des réalités africaines avec des acteurs africains qui sont parfois « invisibles » et qui n’ont pas la possibilité de publier ailleurs.
