Lightning Lunches

Lightning Lunches Series

The Lightning Lunches Series presents themed conversations around various topics in the Digital Humanities. We invite speakers from the UofT community and beyond to talk about their work and research as they relate to the theme of each session. The lunch series aims to expand our CDHI network and community of scholars as we partake in discussion, topics, and issues in DH.
