African Humanities Program
Partnership with African Studies Association
From 2010-2019, the African Humanities Program (AHP) partnered with the African Studies Association (ASA) in the United States to bring selected AHP Fellows to the ASA Annual Meeting as ASA Presidential Fellows. This initiative contributed to the career development and professionalization of fellows who are afforded the opportunity to network and share their work with colleagues from around the world.

AHP provided Fellows with diverse opportunities to network outside their primary institutions and supported the creation and circulation of knowledge.
African humanities centers and institutes for advanced study affiliated with AHP provided space and resources for Fellows to embark on their research outside their home countries.
Weeklong, intensive retreats for Fellows who completed their fellowship tenures to discuss manuscripts with AHP mentors and other fellows.
