- After a year of work, the conference on Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World @earlymodernwar.bsky.social could not have gone better. Thank you again to all speakers and attendees, to my fellow organisers and our sponsors @exeter.ac.uk and @swwdtp.bsky.social for making it happen! 🗡️
- What an incredible couple of days! It was a real pleasure to host such amazing speakers on a wide variety of topics relating to conflict and violence in the early modern period 🗡️ Thank you to everyone who spoke, attended and supported us, and especially to our sponsors @swwdtp.bsky.social !
- We would like to thank our two keynote speakers, Mark Stoyle and Jo Esra. While Mark took us back to Civil War Exeter with a talk and guided walk along the city walls, Jo made us think about the emotional consequences of such violence by looking into the experiences of pirate captives ⚔️🏴☠️
- The two keynotes were representative of our wide variety of topics, from land and maritime warfare to the boundaries of legitimacy surrounding early modern violence and the impact and representation of such violence in its various forms. All through a range of excellent panels!
- Once again, we thank you all for your support. And especially the organisers, Dylan Neill Andrés @dylanneill.bsky.social , Teoni Passereau @teonipassereau.bsky.social, Tom Gayton and Padmanabha Reddy Addula. We hope to see you all again in future editions of the conference! 🗡️⚓⚔️🏴☠️
