Social Sciences Week

Social Sciences Week is a grassroots annual event that "celebrates and showcases the diverse range of social sciences disciplines and research in Australia". Since 2021, Dr Will Dobud from Charles Sturt University has organised a series of outdoor therapy presentations from an international collection of practitioners and researchers. All of these webinars are free for anyone and recorded and shared on Youtube. In 2022, the outdoor therapy series gained nearly 1,000 registrations and again in 2023!

We hope you enjoy nearly 20 hours of free content below.
