Seminar series

The research seminar in musicology is a forum where scholars, PhD students and other students meet to discuss current or concluded projects within musicology or other related disciplines. A couple of times each semester, international scholars visit our department to present their work. Please note that some of the seminars are text seminars, to which texts can be acquired by contacting Mattias Lundberg by e-mail mattias.lundberg@musik.uu.se.

The seminars are usually held Wednesdays between 1.15 PM CET and 3 PM.
