Reading group

Cultural memory and social change arranges a reading group to give an opportunity to work with others to understand texts related to the field, to network and to learn from different perspectives. Each session will start with a short introduction to the text which will be followed by discussion. It is also possible to just listen to the discussions. The reading group is open to anyone interested, and we especially invite Master’s students to join the reading group. Students can get a signature to the lecture pass (luentopassi).
