Celebrating the 30th anniversary of 'Communities of Violence' by Prof David Nirenberg! He will be engaging in conversation with other scholars about his work and the history of religious persecution. Join us on 14 April at @ghilondon.bsky.social 😊 #skystorians #medievalsky #earlymodern #medieval
Delighted to share the news of an upcoming public event organised by Queen Mary University and German Historical Institute of London.
 
This event celebrates the 30th anniversary of the publication of ‘Communities of Violence’, by Prof David Nirenberg. This was a ground-breaking book that changed scholarly perspectives on religious violence and attitudes towards religious minorities in the late medieval and early modern periods. We are incredibly grateful to say that we will have Prof Nirenberg himself joining us and engaging in conversation with other scholars. They will discuss Prof Nirenberg’s work, its ongoing impact on the field, and the history of religious confrontations and religious persecution more broadly.
 
We would like to warmly invite you all to join us for this event. It will take place on 14th April 2026, 5:30-7:30pm at the Art Workers’ Guild London.
 
If you wish to attend, please register via the link provided.
 
We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible!
