My guest today is\u00a0Stephanie Pettigrew<\/strong>, a PhD student in UNB’s History department whose\u00a0dissertation focuses on witchcraft and blasphemy in seventeenth century Montreal. She joins us to tell us about the history of witches in New Brunswick.<\/p>\n

Stephanie has an upcoming talking on October 27 entitled “Jean Campagnard: New Brunswick\u2019s seventeenth-century witchcraft trial”.<\/p>\n
