Hug a Medievalist Day!

Every March 31st, at least since 2011, it has been International Hug a Medievalist Day! Yes, just because we deserve it :)

The day was created by Sarah Laseke, who created a Facebook page and surprisingly got people to sign up - thousands of people in fact.

Sarah says, "I wanted to create a day which puts medievalists in the centre of attention. Medievalists come from various disciplines and our research is varied and exciting. Also, I see the Hug a Medievalist Day as an opportunity to introduce the wider public to Medieval Studies. "

So make sure you get some hugs!
