The Iberian Labyrinth:
identity and inquisition in the making of an early modern deportation state
(1391- 1613)

Time: 12:30pm to 2pm

Date: Wednesday, November 7, 2012

Location: Mackintosh-Corry Hall, Room D411​

Speaker: Ariel Salzmann, PhD, Department of History, Queen’s University

Everyone welcome!
