HASH Network
Health, Arts, Social sciences and Humanities Network
The Humanities, Arts, Social sciences and Health (HASH) Network is an interdisciplinary network which brings together health, arts, social sciences, humanities, design, and science and technology. In order to set a transformative and creative agenda for health research in the 21st century, HASH aims to ignite creative connections and collaborations among its members and explore and respond to real-world health issues. The network’s members include academics, professionals, students and community members across diverse disciplines and interests.
HASH’s approach focuses on open dialogue aimed at developing innovative approaches to contemporary health concerns and advancing inquiry in interdisciplinary health research and practice. The network provides a space for people to share ideas, present their work and discuss pressing topics of research methods and theory, impact and engagement, and professional and creative practice.
