Friday, 8 March at 1-4 pm, SELMA Symposium: Humanistinen terveyden ja sairauden tutkimus: lähestymistapoja, menetelmiä, käsitteitä 

In Finnish.

Symposiumissa esitellään kolme uutta hanketta, joissa terveyttä ja sairautta lähestytään humanistisesta näkökulmasta. Hanke-esittelyjen jälkeen keskustellaan hankkeiden keskeisistä käsitteitä ja menetelmistä. Tarkoitus on pohtia englanninkielisen medical humanities / narrative medicine -sanaston kääntämistä suomeksi sekä näihin tutkimusaloihin liittyvää metodologiaa.

APRIL

Tuesday, 2 April at 1-4 pm, SELMA Symposium: Narrative Imaginaries of the Middle East

Publicum, PUB2 & Zoom

In this symposium, Middle Eastern, more specifically Palestinian, Irani and Iraqi, literatures and narrative imaginaries are explored from several intersecting perspectives: those of an essayist/actor/activist, a scholar, and a translator. The aim is to make space for dialogue and the exchange of ideas, and offer the audience new perspectives into thinking about literature as art, scholarship and site for social change.
