The World Humanities Report offers a comprehensive examination of the state of the humanities worldwide. It is based on the research of the regional teams below and introduces ten key policy recommendations to foster the growth and protection of the humanities in the 21st century.
The research that informs and constitutes the World Humanities Report has been conducted by independent research teams working throughout the world. Each team comprised humanities practitioners and scholars who had been brought together by regional leaders.
Although the organization of these teams was geographically situated, each worked and thought on an international scale, connecting regional examples, trends, challenges, and triumphs within global contexts and experience. The organization of these teams was flexible to adapt to the local definition of the humanities and the specific realities of research in each region. The research of these teams creates the foundation of the World Humanities Report. In total, it represents 115 essays, reports, and case studies from over 230 participants across 30 countries. They are accessible from each regional team’s webpage:
