The DH Seminar
GRIDH hosts an open seminar series on digitization and the humanities, with recurring meetings a couple of times a month. The idea is to capture interest within the entire faculty for the vast field covered by the digital humanities research area.
The content of the seminar will vary between shorter text seminars, guest lecturers, input from our own researchers, and essay seminars within the framework of the Master's Programme in Digital Humanities.
The target group is both researchers and students at the advanced level. Text seminars will be held in Swedish, unless otherwise stated. International guests will present in English, Swedish guests may present in English if specified. Recurring time: Fridays at 3.15pm–5pm. For location, please see the event post in the calendar.
Jonas Ingvarsson is in charge for the seminar programme, and we welcome suggestions regarding the content of the seminar series.
Most of our seminars will be recorded, watch them here: Recorded seminars

In the spring of 2023, we will focus on the reorganization when the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) is transformed into the Gothenburg Research Infrastructure for Digital Humanities (GRIDH). Therefore, the seminar activities are scaled back, but we are organizing a larger event, a theme day on audiobooks on March 31st. More information: Audiobook!
