Dear ~~first_name~~,
CHASS made a submission to the Australian Universities Accord. The submission focussed on HASS disciplines and on four main themes from the terms of reference. Many member organisations contributed to a discussion that informed the submission from CHASS, but it does not necessarily represent the views of these groups. The submission was made on behalf of the CHASS Board and you can access a copy here.
| | Congress of HASS: November 27th - December 1st, 2023 | We are once again hosting the Congress of HASS. This year, the event will be held at the University of Sydney. Many associations are already involved in the planning. If you would like your association to be involved, please contact CHASS President, Dan Woodman.
| CHASS will be offering a few prizes again this year and we will include details in a subsequent newsletter. For now, we would like to highlight the two joint winners of our 2022 Distinctive Works Prize:
2022 Joint Winners: Marg Rogers et al. and Ian Michael & Chris Isaacs
Marg Rogers et al. 'Children's Family Resilience Programs children's literature project'
Marg Roger's et al. project produced a suite of twelve free, online research-based children’s storybooks created from the narratives of Australian children and their families from the defence and veteran community. The books build children’s resilience to deal with the stresses of military family life or when their parent gives their physical/mental health in service. This is the first time Australian young children’s narratives from defence/veteran families have been voiced, enabling them to see their lives reflected in young children’s literature. This builds children’s sense of identity and belonging.
Ian Michael & Chris Isaacs York
Ian & Chris's project is a play titled 'York' that is set in and around an abandoned hospital in York, on Ballardong Nyoongar country. This epic truth-telling play blends humour and horror to uncover our buried histories. Traversing multiple eras and inspired by 200 years of real accounts, this daring new work explores how stories are told – and who tells them. York was Shortlisted for in Nick Enright's Prize for Playwriting as part o the NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2022. York is a raw, resonating new work written by two incredibly talented local artists Ian Michael (Wilman Nyoongar) and Chris Isaacs.
