RESET/CRADLE Online Seminar Series for the Academic Year 2021-2022

The seminars are organized by RESET at Tampere University and CRADLE at University of Helsinki. They bring together scholars who use and develop cultural-historical activity theory and formative intervention methods to address acute societal challenges requiring transformations.

The seminars are open to all registered participants through a link sent after registration. Doctoral students are also welcome to attend: attending one seminar (with active participation in the discussion and a reflection written text on the contents and readings of the seminar) corresponds to 1 ECTS. Actively participating doctoral students receive a document as proof of attendance to be shared for obtaining the corresponding credit(s) in the participants’ own universities.
