2020 DASSH Conference
The 2020 DASSH Conference was sadly cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In place of an in-person meeting, we hosted four interactive virtual meetings over four Fridays in September. The theme of the meetings was “Post-COVID-19 – Where are we going?,” and each week we looked at a different aspect of HASS faculty management.
The 2020 DASSH AGM took place at the conclusion of the fourth virtual meeting on 25 September 2020.
