The Talks commence just after 1pm, and everyone is welcome to bring their lunch from the dinning-room to the meeting room, where coffee will be served. The talk ends with a 15 min. discussion to end promptly at 2pm.

During term-time Clare Hall runs a series of informal meetings on Thursdays at 1pm, where recent research and projects in progress are presented by members of the College.  Lasting 40 minutes, the talk is followed by a lively question and answer period over coffee.  If you or your partner would like to share any aspect of your academic work in a relaxed environment, please contact  Ruby Reid Thompson, the College Archivist.
