Keynote Speakers

"TRUTH WILL OUT":
CRIME, CRIMINALS, AND CRIMINALITY, 1500-1700

This 2-day international conference aims to provide a forum for scholars
who work on various aspects of crimes, the people who commit them, and
how such acts and people are imagined in the early modern period. We
hope to encourage inter-disciplinary exchange and debate which will
contribute to the widening interest and scholarship in these areas. To
facilitate diversity in theoretical approaches, interests, and
methodologies, the topical, temporal and geographical scope of the
conference is purposefully broad.

Papers might address, but are not limited to, the following:

are the instructor's internal ethical concerns, pressures to conform
to proscribed institutional policies, and rapidly shifting standards
