PGF Seminar 16th December 1-2pm

For our final PGF seminar of the year we will be hearing from Marcela Delia a current PhD student at the State University of Campinas, Brazil. Marcela gained both a bachelor and a magisterium degree in History at the University of São Paulo. During this time, she was awarded a scholarship by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) which allowed her to pursue her research further at the University of Edinburgh. Marcela’s current research looks at the relationships between Scottish governments, law, and witchcraft (c. 1590-1662). She will be delivering her paper entitled ‘Justices in that pairt: revisiting the Aberdeen witchcraft trials in light of a recent discovery (c. 1597)’.
