History Dept - Brown Bag Seminar Series - Wednesday Lunchtimes
Date: January - June 2012 Time: 1.10 - 1.50pm

A brown bag seminar is an informal lunchtime meeting with an open invitation. Attendees eat any lunch they have brought along while listening to a short and informal talk by a member of staff about his/her historical research. Ensuing discussion is in the spirit of helping the researcher with their problems. The seminars are held Wednesday lunchtimes on various dates during the Lent and Summer terms (See Event Programme below).
