The Call for proposals for workshops to be held between July 2011 and June 2012 is now open. Applications must be received by Friday 29 October, 2010.
The Workshop Program is a principal component of the Academy's promotion of excellence in research in the social sciences. It aims to identify issues of national concern in the social sciences, and to focus specialist attention on them by means of workshops and roundtables. A related aim is to position the Program at the cutting edge of social science research in this country. The very considerable degree of success of the Program in fulfilling these aims to date may be inferred from the several mentions made of its work in the Breakspere Report (1995), which notes that the Program provides an arena for intellectual exchange and innovation, a mechanism for exploring linkages between research and policy, and a means of involving younger scholars. Through the Workshops Program, the Academy is now a major facilitator of collective intellectual work in the social sciences in Australia.
Those wishing to submit a proposal for an Academy Workshop should follow the ASSA workshop guidelines.
