The Humanities’ Research Seminar is a venue for talks on a wide range of topics in humanities, including cultural studies, linguistics, literature, and translation. It takes place every two weeks on Wednesdays, from 4:15–5:45 p.m, at Agora 209 or occasionally on Zoom (please see below) and is open to everyone, with time after the talks for questions and discussion. Languages of the Seminar are English and Finnish.

The seminar hosts presentations by SCE doctoral students, junior or senior staff at the School of Humanities or guest researchers.

If doctoral students plan to present (and earn ECTS as part of their doctoral studies) they should check open slots in the schedule and contact the organisers (contact: michael.riessler@uef.fi) at least three weeks before the date available. Please make also sure that your supervisor(s) are available.

Self nominations by researchers at the School or suggestions for potential speakers are very welcome. If a guest is coming to the university or colleagues from other schools or faculties at UEF are interested in presenting a talk, please get in touch.

Most talks will take place in AG201; but some talks may take place on Zoom. This information is specified for each talk individually below.

Abstracts for upcoming presentations are available as separate posts, see the links in the schedule below. Abstracts of former presentations are archived on a separate page.
