Graduate Students in the Department of History and other departments on campus will host the 2018 WHEATS (Workshop on the History of Environment, Agriculture, Technology and Science) at UCR. 

WHEATS is an intensive, rotating workshop for graduate students and recent PhDs who study the environment, agriculture, technology or science from a historical perspective.

WHEATS began in 2004 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since then it has been hosted at the University of Western Ontario, the University of Virginia, the University of Georgia, Kansas State University, Mississippi State University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Kansas, the University of Colorado-Boulder, Rutgers University, and SUNY Albany.

WHEATS 2018 will be held at the University of California, Riverside Oct. 5-7. We look forward to talking advantage of the local history during our 2018 workshop. For more information, pls contact David McCaskey.
