What is our Brown Bag? Each month, UCLA (and LA area) historians join over lunch to workshop a pre-read, in-work article with its author. We have welcomed a diversity of participants and topics, from graduate work on Ming China to senior scholarship on 19th century Romania.

Take note that we'll be meeting in Bunche 6265 (the reading room, not the normal history of science room). But no change of scenery could take away from the Brown Bag's heart and soul. With friends, food, and a phenomenal paper, there's no better way to spend lunch!
