The African Humanities Association (AHA), through its Enhancing Humanities Research in Africa (EHURA) Project, is pleased to announce the Call for Applications for the 2026–2027 Research Residency Programme.

Building on the legacy of the African Humanities Program (AHP), the initiative provides an opportunity for early- and mid-career scholars to advance their research, benefit from academic mentorship and foster meaningful scholarly connections. The 2026–2027 residency will be hosted at the University of Ghana, Accra.


Supported by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation (formerly Carnegie Corporation of New York), EHURA seeks to strengthen humanities scholarship in Africa through research fellowships, mentorship, scholarly exchange and collaborative initiatives that promote academic excellence and sustainable research networks across the continent.
