Congress of HASS
The Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

We mentioned in our last newsletter that we are very excited to be bringing together many of the major discipline association events for this year in the HASS sector under one banner - the first HASS Congress in Australia. We are happy to share that, since our last newsletter, two more associations have committed to the Congress of HASS;  Drama Australia and the Australasian Consortium of Humanities Research Centres (ACHRC). Welcome Drama Australia and ACHRC. 
 
 
There is still time to join this event. If your association has a conference, symposium or workshop that you are planning for the year that might fit as part of the initiative, please contact the CHASS President, Professor Dan Woodman (dan.woodman@unimelb.edu.au)
