About
The Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) is the peak body that advocates for humanities, arts and social sciences or the HASS disciplines and practices. With a membership of about 85 organisations, CHASS works with its members to address issues of importance to the HASS sector. CHASS holds workshops and forums, has input into government policy development processes and is part of several networks representing HASS disciplines.
Inaugural CHASS National Forum 2012
The Inaugural CHASS National Forum, "The Human Dimension: HASS Disciplines in Australian Lives" aims to highlight excellence and innovation in the knowledge areas that focus on the human experience, such as the humanities, arts and the social sciences. CHASS believes that now, more than ever, it is critical to support and invest in knowledge that places the human experience at the centre of its focus. We invite you to be part of this forward looking focus on "The Human Dimension" of knowledge by supporting this landmark event that will celebrate excellence and leadership in Australian society in an era of change.

CHASS News: April 2012
The next couple of months bring two innovative events for CHASS members - 'Conversations: Social Innovation, Arts and Anti Racism' in Sydney and CHASS Workshop 'Getting your Message Out and Heard' in Melbourne. Later this year, perhaps the most significant event of 2012 will be the Inaugural National Forum titled "The Human Dimension- HASS Knowledge in Australian Lives" in Canberra. The National Forum is a critical opportunity for all of us to come together as a sector to celebrate, support and advocate. We need you, our members, to work with us to make this happen.
