Dine and Discuss

2021 Dine and Discuss

Are you looking for an informal opportunity to meet with fellow public historians during Virtual NCPH 2021? We’re rebranding our usual Dine Arounds as “Dine and Discuss,” Zoom rooms that will be open at 8:00 pm EST on Thursdays, March 18 and 25, to allow conference attendees across the country to talk about important issues and make new friends over a meal (or an afternoon snack, for our West Coasters!). If you’d like to lead a Dine and Discuss virtual meal, simply propose a topic below and we’ll help you set it up.

There is no cap on participants or pre-registration required; all Dine and Discuss rooms will be open to any interested conference participant. If you see a topic that interests you on the conference schedule, just pop in!
