    Ep 12 | The spellbinding world of witchcraft and the supernatural

    What do you think of when you hear the word ‘witch’? Most people will come up with a similar image: old, haggard, ugly, bent-nosed, broomstick-laden and, above all, female. But how accurate is this stereotype? UQ ChangeMakers sat down with Dr Charlotte-Rose Millar, Research Fellow in the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at UQ and the author of ‘Witchcraft, the Devil and Emotions in Early Modern England’, to delve into the dark arts of witchcraft and the supernatural. UQ ChangeMakers is a series that tells the stories of some of the most influential members of The University of Queensland community. Listen as we get know our amazing change makers and find out what makes them tick.
