The Q-seminar is a meeting place for current research in culture and society.

The Q seminars are organized by the research environment Culture and Society in collaboration with the 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.

Our seminars are open to anyone interested, except for our internal work seminars. They are held in hybrid mode. You can participate via Zoom or in person at Campus Norrköping.

Public seminars spring semester 2025

Working seminars autumn semester 2025

The working seminars are normally given on Thursdays from 13:15 to 15:00 at Tvärsnittet (KH557, Campus Norrköping). If you would like to participate via Zoom, please email Anna Lundvall.
