THINK TANKS

These think tanks aimed to work to generate a value proposition for generalist HASS education that speaks to future students and employers.

Think tanks were held in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney in April and May 2017. They brought together students, alumni, academic leaders, administrators and HASS teachers in small groups to work through a program of activities intended to identify opportunities and address the challenges associated with contemporary HASS education in Australia
