CESTA Seminar Series

On most Tuesdays at lunchtime (12-1:15PM) 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 contacting Office Management Intern, Daniela Perez at perezd20 [at] stanford.edu (perezd20[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.
