Graduate Medievalists at Berkeley

Medieval Studies Lunch Talks have been discontinued. 

In the past, the UC Berkeley Medieval Studies program hosted monthly Lunch Talks, which took place on Fridays at 12:00 at the Lewis Latimer Room in the UC Berkeley Faculty Club. While GMB did not host these Lunch Talks, they were a great opportunity for graduate students to hear lectures by outstanding scholars.
