Sort items by sourceAbout Press: in the media
"Press: in the media" has items on news and policy in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
They are drawn from newspapers, journals or other web sites. Some will be international, others sourced from within Australia.
The three most recent items will be posted on the home page, with a brief description and a link.
As items are supplanted by more recent news, they will be moved down the list and then shifted into an archive, where they will remain accessible.
We invite all CHASS Members and readers to suggest suitable items. Your contributions and suggestions will be acknowledged.
