CHASS Newsletter
Dear ~~first_name~~,
 
In case you are not aware, CHASS's membership model is now an anniversary one; your membership is active for 12 months from the date of your payment. Our new model allows us to welcome new members all year round and we are excited to welcome our newest member, the Sydney Social Sciences and Humanities Advanced Research Centre (SSSHARC). We look forward to building a relationship with the SSSHARC. 
 
On the Congress of HASS front, the organising committee have established three sub committees to work on different components of the event including:
  • Shared Keynotes
  • Professional Development Program
  • Social Program
We hope to have details about the above three event areas soon. In the meantime, if you haven't had a chance to read our last few newsletters, we released our CHASS Federal Election Statement. Increasing support for HASS students, investing in cutting edge HASS research and growing better links between HASS researchers inside and outside universities are our key recommendations. You can access the full statement here.

The Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

If you haven't already, we welcome and encourage you to share the Congress of HASS poster widely to help us promote the event. 

Although it's too late to add you to the poster, if you would like to be a part of the Congress of HASS, there is still time to join this event. If your association has a conference, symposium, public lecture, or workshop etc. 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).
