The Q seminar is organised by the research environment Culture and Society in collaboration with Forum for form, aesthetics and design.

The seminar series are based on texts by the research environment's own researchers and doctoral students, as well as presentations by external guests.

The seminars are usually held on Thursdays 13:15 - 15:00 every week. With a few exceptions for internal workshops, the seminars are open to anyone who is interested.

All the seminars are held in hybrid mode: on Zoom (contact Daniela Dahl for link) with a possibility for in person participation in Tvärsnittet (Kopparhammaren 7, Campus Norrköping).
