About the Network

HASH (Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences for Health) is based at RMIT University. It was established in 2018 with the purpose of connecting individuals and institutions to foster innovative scholarship that engages with 21^st century health challenges.

Health in the 21^st century is increasingly being reshaped by developments in neurosciences, health technologies, digital transformations, shifting demographics including ageing populations, questions of sustainable development, and concerns around healthy and secure food systems and lifestyles. With the increase of digital technologies in everyday life, interdisciplinary realms such as digital health provide many opportunities and challenges for the future of society.

It aims to ignite creative connections and collaborations among members. To that end, HASH will draw on various contributions from a wide range of academic researchers, health practitioners, health service users and policymakers.
