Friends of History

The History Department of UCLA is one of the leading academic units in the College of Letters and Science. Our programs are widely recognized as among the best in the country for the study of History. The Friends of History is dedicated to the support of outstanding scholarship and teaching. To this end, the Friends assists the department in several areas: the funding of graduate fellowships, the underwriting of faculty and student research, and the sharing of our academic programs with the Los Angeles Community.

The Friends of History offers a unique opportunity to participate in intellectual discussions in an informal atmosphere. Friends will meet periodically in different homes. Distinguished History Department faculty members will present a variety of vital topics and lead stimulating discussions.

Our scheduled speakers for this year include:

November 19, 2008: Daniel Howe
January 14, 2009: Nile Green
March 11, 2009: Robert Hill
May 13, 2009: Lynn Hunt

The titles of the talks will be posted at the start of the fall quarter.
