    Let's get that thesis and honorable MA degree done! The meetings are on Wednesdays 13:15 to 15:00 online on Zoom – you'll receive the link by email if you're registered. Don't trust the MyCourses calendar, this main page only.

    We also have an evening edition of the seminar which runs on Tuesdays from 16:30 to 18:00 likewise on Zoom. The schedule can be found on the Evening seminar page. Teemu Leinonen manages the evening seminar and Markku Reunanen the afternoon one.

  • Material


    Primary vs. Secondary sources:

    Citing artworks as primary sources:

  • Uppgifter

    To pass the course you need to be present 10 times, including:

    • 1st presentation – one-page summary of your topic ready, 10 minutes
    • 2nd presentation – table of contents and one chapter ready, 20 minutes
    • Being someone's opponent ie. commenting on their 2nd presentation


    Note that you can collect the necessary presence from both the afternoon and evening seminar if needed, even over multiple academic years. When you've done everything mentioned above, ask either Markku or Teemu for the credits, as we can't really poll people's attendance all the time.

    Note that starting from fall 2020, you'll get the thesis credits in three parts: after the 1st presentation, after the 2nd and when the thesis is accepted, 10 ECTS each. We will submit the credits "automatically" after the respective two presentations (i.e. remind us if they don't appear).

  • Evening seminar

    The evening edition of the seminar, given by Teemu Leinonen, meets on Tuesday nights at 16:30 to 18:00 on Zoom. The schedule is updated to this page during the seminar sessions. Therefore, please, do not send me an emails to book your presentation times.
