Events and seminars

Human Diversity arranges interdisciplinary seminar series to present the wide variety of research in the field.  You are welcome to join seminars at the University of Turku campus or on zoom.

Human Diversity seminars highlight interdisciplinary research associated with the consortium. The seminar series is designed to complement visiting seminars and other teaching activities within the departments. Seminars typically consist of either a single visiting talk (60 minutes, including a 45-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A session) or two talks. In the latter format, a consortium member provides an introduction to Human Diversity research relevant to the topic (20+10 min), followed by a visiting speaker (45+15min).

Participation in these seminars allows students to earn credits for HUDI001. Further details can be found on Peppi.
