Colour Research Colloquium

Hosted by the interdisciplinary journal Colour Turn at the University of Tübingen, our Colour Research Colloquium (CRC) invites young scholars from various fields to explore colour as both a sensory experience and a cultural signifier. We welcome 15-minute presentations on ongoing research at any stage. If you’re simply curious and would like to attend as a listener, you’re very welcome to join as an audience member. Just send us a short email at submission@colourturn.net to express your interest. For a sense of the atmosphere and themes explored in past sessions, you can visit the CRC Report pages and read the published reports.

We look forward to continuing the conversation this October with the third edition of the Colour Research Colloquium. Stay tuned!
