The research group Tolerant Migrant Cities? The Case of Holland 1600-1900 organises in collaboration with the N.W. Posthumus Institute a symposium on agency in the justice system in global perspective on 9 June 2022 at the International Institute of Social History (IISG) in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
This symposium is preceded on 8 June by a Masterclass by Professor Robert Shoemaker, follow this link<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n The aim of this symposium is to connect scholars working on the history of crime and justice across various chronological periods and geographic regions. In doing so we hope to open up the theme of crime and justice into a global perspective. By focusing on how historians approach criminal justice sources to better understand the daily lives and agency of those who came into contact with various courts and legislations through time, the aim is to facilitate discussion and exchange of global sources and methodologies between historians from different networks and disciplines. In doing so, the difficulties and opportunities in using legal source material in order to reveal something about the agency and daily lives of those who came into contact with the justice system will form the central theme.<\/p>\n The symposium aims to broaden the knowledge of (early career) researchers by inviting presentations by experienced scholars in the subject of legislation, crime and justice in a global perspective, as well as offering a platform for post-doctoral researchers, PhD-candidates, and ReMA students to share their own research and connect with other researchers working on similar subjects or source types.<\/p>\n You can download the program, including abstracts of the lectures, as pdf via this link<\/a>.<\/p>\nTopic<\/span><\/h2>\n
