Inaugural Eutopia Summer School on the history of violence in Dresden

The inaugural Eutopia Summer School on the history of violence is taking place at TU Dresden from 2-8 July 2023. The school is aimed primarily at undergraduates about to enter their final year of study and will enable exploration of themes such as:

  • Historiography of Violence
  • Gendered Violence
  • Colonial Violence
  • Violence in Political Discourse
  • Representing Violence
  • Drink-Related Violence

Born out of the longstanding relationship between Warwick and Dresden, the summer school is run by scholars from both institutions, providing students access to world-class research and teaching. An amazing opportunity and we wish them well this week!
