CESTA Lunch Seminar Series
On most Thursdays at lunchtime (12:15-1:15PM) during the academic quarter, researchers from across the Stanford community and beyond come together for presentations of new work in the digital humanities.
Currently, our events are primarily in a hybrid format, with some entirely online. You may join our events remotely via Zoom by CESTA Research and Programs Manager Erin Eger (erineger [at] stanford.edu (erineger[at]stanford[dot]edu)). If you do not have Zoom installed, you can download it for free here.
Recordings of some of our past seminars are available on CESTA's Youtube Channel.
