Worlds of Conflict: Violence in the Early Modern World

In recent years, a growing number of scholars have turned their analyses towards the functions and meanings of violence in a variety of contexts. The early modern world remains a focus of scholars’ energy due to the richness of its source materials and the dynamic and shifting societies that occupied it.

Worlds of Conflict will bring together scholars for an interdisciplinary conference to examine the roles and meanings of violence in the early modern world.

The conference is presented by the Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies (CRRS), University of Toronto, September 21-23, 2023, and co-sponsored by University of Toronto Italian Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, English, History, Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies (CrimSL) and the Centre for Medieval Studies.
