Celebrating 50 Years of the Academy:
50th Birthday Party

In 2021, the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia marks its 50th anniversary. This milestone provides an opportunity to celebrate the significant contributions of the Academy and its Fellows to the advancement of the social sciences. It also invites reflection on the value and future of the social sciences in contemporary Australian life.

The Academy was established on the 7th of July, 1971 in Canberra, Australia. On the 7th of July, 2021, we will celebrate the Academy's 50th birthday.

We hope to have as many Fellows as possible join us in celebrating this anniversary in 50th birthday parties around Australia. ACT Fellows are invited to celebrate by joining us at the National Museum of Australia for canapes, drinks and live music as we reflect on the legacy of the Academy and the future of the social sciences.
