Narrare Interdisciplinary Autumn Seminar for PhD Researchers

On Thursday, November 18, 2021, Narrare: Centre for Interdisciplinary Narrative Studies hosts the fifth annual seminar for PhD students. The seminar provides a chance to meet PhD researchers from diverse backgrounds who work on or with narrative, but also to participate in Narrare’s ongoing endeavour of developing theories, methods and analytical tools for the interdisciplinary field of narrative studies. Our visiting scholars this year are Professor Lars-Christer Hydén (Linköping University) and Professor Hanna Meretoja (University of Turku).  

The seminar will be held as a hybrid event at Tampere University, Finland. The seminar day consists of seminar workshops and two keynote lectures by our invited visiting scholars. The two workshop panels are for the participating PhD researchers only. The keynote lectures are open for everyone. The keynote lectures will be given on site in Tampere and they are streamed. Please find the Zoom link for the keynote lectures at the end of the programme. Depending on the Covid-19 situation in Finland in November, we encourage to consider taking part in the keynote lectures in person. All the arrangements of the seminar will be based on the Covid-19 guidelines of the Tampere University. All welcome!
