Australian Academy Of The Humanities

Established under Royal Charter in 1969, the Australian Academy of the Humanities is a Learned Academy and the national body for the humanities in Australia, championing the contribution that humanities, arts and culture make to national life. Our Fellows are leading experts in Humanities fields in Australia and internationally. The Academy convenes independent and authoritative advice, including to government, to ensure ethical, historical and cultural perspectives inform discussions regarding Australia s future challenges and opportunities. We also promote and recognise excellence in the disciplines that provide the nation's expertise in culture, history, languages, linguistics, philosophy and ethics, archaeology and heritage and Indigenous studies. The Academy plays a unique role in promoting international engagement and research collaboration, and investing in the next generation of humanities researchers.
