Join us in exploring the wonders of the premodern world, where you might encounter mythological creatures, be tempted by a devil, trade spices along the Silk Road, witness a terrible battle, or meet a beneficent deity.
From premodern marvels to details of daily life, you'll learn about a time long ago through faculty panels, graduate student posters, and a library exhibit showcasing rare books and materials curated from a global perspective.
Undergraduates are welcome and encouraged to attend. There will be opportunities to talk with professors of Medieval and Early Modern Studies and learn more about the field and research opportunities.
