The autumn programme for the Narrative Studies Seminar hosted by Narrare has been published!
The seminar, taking place on selected Tuesdays at 3:15 pm (EEST/EET), is open for everyone in person or via Zoom (Link Meeting ID: 668 4700 7494 Passcode: 045076).
The aim is to allow for a multi- and interdisciplinary discussion on data, methods, theories, and the state of narrative research. Sessions consist of introductory presentations by researchers from different career-stages and fields studying narratives at Tampere University (circa 20 min), followed by general discussion. The seminar sessions are either in English or in Finnish depending on the presentation. The language of the presentation’s title indicates the language in which the presentation will be given.
