It has been a real privilege to host so many amazing speakers at our CWV conference this week. What started as a small idea between a couple of PhD students has turned into a brilliant event with over 60 attendees and an expanding network of over 90 researchers of early modern violence - thank you!

With an overwhelming amount of amazing papers given this week at the CWV conference, I was so lucky to give my own paper on early modern women's roles in the maritime economy during wartime.
