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.

- 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

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