Please join us for the final installment of "Horror & Enchantment," an ongoing interdisciplinary conversation among scholars centered on these complementary (and Halloween-ready!) concepts. What horrifies may also enchant, and what enchants may also horrify - so get ready. The two-day symposium will involve discussion of short, creative works drawn from the outer limits of scholarly inquiry.
This event is organized by Kris Lane and Kenneth Mills (University of Michigan), and sponsored by the Stone Center for Latin American Studies with an assist from the Department of History.
