CHASS Occasional Papers

About Papers

CHASS represents the interests of people working in the humanities, arts and social sciences. Many of these people are involved in research and education at the tertiary level, while others are practitioners.

Our principal interests are in policy advice: in seeking to influence the Government and the bureaucracy in respect of the directions in which policy should be developed.

CHASS publishes reports and papers in an Occasional Paper series. These may be generated by CHASS or by one of our Members.
