The annual South African Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) Awards will remain the Institute’s flagship initiative. The Annual (HSS) Awards were launched in 2016, with the inaugural awards ceremony held on 30 March 2016. HSS Awards celebrate outstanding scholars in the HSS field who are stimulating and contributing to serious critical work while authentically telling South African stories that are shaping new ways of knowing. The Awards also re-position scholarly contributions as having public value and increase appreciation for the role they play in building sustainable social cohesion and the re-imagining of the humanities and social sciences.
