Lunch Club

Archaeological site in India

Lunch Club provides affiliates of the Stanford Archaeology Center with a community-oriented forum for engagement with current issues in archaeology. The Lunch Club meets on Wednesdays from 12pm – 1pm and is followed by a lunch served on the Center’s front patio. Presenters include current Center affiliates as well as researchers from other Stanford programs and other universities. Lunch Club speakers are selected by a graduate student committee in consultation with the Director.
