The Humanities Research Institute at the University of Newcastle invites
academics from a wide a variety of disciplines — including
anthropology, art, criminology, history, international relations, law,
literature, psychology, philosophy, political science and sociology — to
submit proposals for panels and individual papers at its conference,
Histories of Violence, to be held in the city of Newcastle from 21-23
August 2012.
The program committee welcomes panels and paper proposals that deal with
the history of violence in the broadest sense, in all parts of the
world, from the fifteenth century to the present day. In order to
complement the Humanities Research Institute’s continuing strengths in
the history of violence, the Committee encourages proposals that involve
histories of gender and race, cultural history, and religious history.
The Committee also invites submissions from scholars working in war,
murder, mass murder and atrocity.
We invite prospective participants to submit a presentation proposal for
one of the following parallel session options: 30-minute panel
presentations; a 90-minute workshop; or a jointly presented 90-minute
round table session. For more information refer to Conference website.
