HIGHER SEMINAR IN SOCIOLOGY Autumn 2026
The Higher Seminar in Sociology takes place 13.15-15.00 on Mondays if nothing else is stated. If a seminar is based on a manuscript, it is normally distributed one week before the seminar through e-mail and our website at Blackboard. The seminars take place at campus at Östra Mark (Ö. 201) if nothing else is stated.
When no commentator is announced all participants are welcome to give comments and ask questions. A friendly reminder about our seminar culture: To give everyone the opportunity to comment, please start with one or two comments and then you can get back with more comments later during the seminar.
