Bethlehem, PA, December 3, 2019: Today, Moravian College announced they will host the 14th Moravian College Undergraduate Conference in Medieval and Early Modern Studies on Saturday, December 7 at the Main Street campus in Bethlehem, PA.

“This year’s conference -- the 14th -- promises to be terrific,” said Sandy Bardsley, professor of history at Moravian College and co-director of the conference, along with John Black, associate professor of English at Moravian College. “We have 70 student presenters, coming from as far away as Montreal, plus exhibitors demonstrating weaving, indigo dyeing, and calligraphy. We hope folks will drop by to hear an interesting paper, buy medieval-themed t-shirts and other products, observe a medieval- or early modern-themed board game, or admire posters on Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris.”
