The Congress of HASS
The CSAA 2022 Conference will be part of the Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
The Congress brings together many of the annual discipline association conferences in the HASS sector under one banner to Melbourne (24 November – 3 December 2022). With over 20 conferences and events held during the period, CHASS hopes to transform Melbourne into a showcase of the sector’s work, allowing conference delegates to attend multiple conferences sustainably, and to enjoy the many additional activities and social events across multiple associations. More information on the Congress can be found here.
