CHASS Newsletter
Dear ~~first_name~~,
 
This is our final newsletter for 2021. The CHASS office will be taking a break to mid-January 2022. We wish all of our member organisations and our newsletter subscribers a happy and restful end of the year. It has been another tough one for HASS but there are also many things to celebrate. In particular, we are delighted to finish the year by announcing the winners of our CHASS Prizes for 2021. Thank you to everyone who made a nomination and to our selection committee. This year we had joint winners of our Distinctive Work Prize (see below). This is our major prize, awarded for the most distinctive contribution to HASS through a performance, exhibition, research project or a specific advance in policy development in any HASS field.
 
We have also selected a winner for our Future Leaders Prize, Emma Cupitt for her piece Dust and Ashes. This writing prize was kindly supported by Future Leaders.

The Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences - save the date!
