KvinnSamSem

About the seminar

If you are a researcher, student or member of the general public working on a project that includes material from KvinnSam's archive collections, you are welcome to present at KvinnSamSem.

Anyone who is interested is welcome to participate. One or more members of KvinnSam's staff will participate in each seminar. Information about the seminar will be sent to other sister seminars at the University of Gothenburg and to the Genuslistan and SKOGH email lists, Sweden's women's and gender historians.

The seminar series is a collaboration with SKOGH, Sweden's women's and gender historians.

Format

The seminar lasts one hour and takes place at lunchtime. Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch. The project will be presented and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and give feedback in a relaxed atmosphere.

What is expected of the presenter?

Anyone who wants to give a presentation at KvinnSamSem should contact research coordinator Rachel Pierce (see contact information on the right) at least one month in advance.

The presentation consists of an introduction to the project and what has been found in the archives. It is possible to show pictures, but this is not a requirement. The presenter can lead the discussion, but otherwise someone from KvinnSam will take on that role.

What is expected of participants?

Participants do not need to prepare anything in advance. Just come as you are and participate with questions and comments, or just listen.
