Interpersonal violence is the product of complex interactions
between cultural, social, political and environmental factors and is
subject to transformations that reflect on-going changes within
society. In the framework of the MSCA ViolenControl research
project, a conference will be hosted at the University of York
between 4-5 July 2023.

We welcome papers focused on violence and its control in Early
Modern Europe.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Quantitative analysis of violence
Peacemaking, public order, and policing
Interrelationships between criminal justice and violence
Factionalism, political and elite violence
Ecological factors and violence
Class, gender-based, and collective violence
Minorities and violence
Spatial patterns of violence

Key-note speaker: Dr. Amanda Madden (George Mason University)

Please send a 300-word abstract and brief biographical statement to Andrew Vidali (andrew.vidali@york.ac.uk) by 16 December 2022.

A selection of papers will be published in a peer-reviewed volume.
