The Languages and Language Education Research Seminar provides a venue for presentations on a broad range of topics in the fields of linguistics and other language studies, including the fields of translation and language education.

The research seminar was previously called the Humanities Research Seminar. In the fall semester 2026, it has been re-launched with a new title and a more specific focus on language-related research.

In the academic year 2026-2027, the seminar takes place every two weeks on Tuesdays from 4:15 to 5:45 p.m. The seminar is organised in hybrid format. The on-campus location is announced in the schedule below. For the remote link, please contact the seminar organiser.

The seminar is open to all researchers interested in the fields of linguistics and other language studies. The main working language of the seminar is English, but presentations may also be held in Finnish.

The seminar features presentations by by FILOTO doctoral researchers, junior and senior staff at the School of Humanities, and guest researchers. It may also include training sessions (e.g., on digital platforms or research tools) and discussion meetings (e.g., on research ethics or methodological issues). The type of meeting is indicated in the schedule.

Doctoral researchers who wish to present (and obtain ECTS credits as part of their doctoral studies) are asked to contact the organiser.

Suggestions for other presentations and potential speakers are also warmly welcomed from all members of staff. Please contact the seminar organiser.

The meeting link and passcode for the Zoom sessions are provided by the organisers upon request.

Abstracts of upcoming presentations are published as separate posts; links are available in the schedule below. Abstracts of past presentations are archived on a dedicated page.
