CAHSS is a vibrant and diverse community of researchers, committed to producing outstanding research that enriches our culture and society, and enhances justice, well-being and sustainability across the globe. Inspiring and enabling our academic community to achieve their ambitious goals for research and knowledge exchange is our core focus.

The strength of our research is enhanced through our environment and culture with researchers collaborating across a broad spectrum of disciplines in the arts, humanities and social sciences to advance knowledge that addresses major societal and global challenges.  

Our nine broad, interdisciplinary themes bring together researchers from across all academic schools, centres and institutes to foster new collaborations and partnerships across industry, policy and practice.

Our support structures foster engagement and create a positive environment, enhancing research development, researcher growth, and the impact of our work within and beyond CAHSS.
