| The Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
November 24 - December 8, 2022
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, one more association has committed to the Congress of HASS; Australian Early Medieval Association (AEMA). We welcome AEMA to the Congress of HASS. | 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)
