 | Dear ~~first_name~~,
We hope you have had a chance to catch one or more of the wonderful Social Sciences Week events that have been held this week. You may even be lined up to attend something today. Whatever the case, we are happy to share the recordings of the two events we hosted earlier this week:
CHASS President Professor Dan Woodman had a conversation with the joint winner of the CHASS 2021 Prize for Distinctive Work, Dr Carla Pascoe Leahy. You can access the recording of that event here.
Our second event, Culture as Infrastructure, involved three panellists; Justin O’Connor, Professor of Cultural Economy, University of South Australia, Dan Hill, Director, Melbourne School of Design, and Tully Barnett, Director, Assemblage Centre for Creative Arts, Flinders University. Part of the discussion was about the exclusion of culture from contemporary thinking about socio-economic policy & urban sustainability. You can access the recording of that event here.
In case you haven't heard, Anti-Poverty Week is coming up - 16-22 October - and you can find out how you can help here.

November 24 - December 3, 2022
| The inaugural Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences is being partially sponsored by the Melbourne Convention Bureau. Over 20 associations have signed up to take part in the Congress , which will be held in Melbourne in and around the week of November 27th - December 3rd, 2022. This will be the major initiative for CHASS and hopefully the major showcase for the sector in 2022. We welcome and encourage you to share the event poster.
You can access more information about the Congress here.

The CHASS Future Leaders Writing Prize aims to recognise and reward young Australian writers (35 and under). The theme for 2022 is HASS and Hope.

CHASS Prize for Distinctive Work in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
This prize is for a performance, exhibition, research project or a specific advance in policy development in any HASS field. Performances or exhibitions must have been open to the public between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021. Policy work and research may have commenced earlier, but must have been completed during 2021.
Self-nominations are welcome. Nominees should provide sufficient evidence to allow judges to assess the impact of the performance, exhibition, project or policy. The nature of this evidence is up to the nominator (for e.g.: critical reviews, impact assessments, spin-offs, new policies).
Performances, exhibitions or policy work may have taken place abroad, but nominees must be citizens or permanent residents of Australia, and the work must have some relevance to Australian cultural and intellectual life. All materials submitted must be in English.
Submission deadline for 2022: Monday September 12, 2022
The Writing Prize
The Writing Prize is for Australians forty years and under. The winner will receive $10,000 and their writing featured on www.writing.org.au.
