Harlan-Haughey presents at medieval studies conference, Missoula Independent reports
Sarah Harlan-Haughey, an assistant professor of English and honors at the University of Maine, was mentioned in a Missoula Independent article about the University of Montana’s first summer conference on medieval studies.
