What happens in a conflict when you use history as a powerful argument to reach your goal?...
On 25th of June, a group of medievalists will discuss captivating examples from their own sources and research. Jackson Armstrong, Flavio Miranda, Justine Firnhaber-Baker, Patrick Lantschner, Hans Jacob Orning, Jenny Benham, jembenham, Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz, Dan Smail, Piotr Górecki.

If you want to join in, DM: spots are limited here! We will be, however, tweeting summaries of the presentations and discussions in the week of 28th of June, and longer posts on our website. And: we invite both #twitterstorians and #conflict scholars to comment.

No prima aprilis joke: we have been attending conferences, lectures and workshops all over the world, and given several papers (more to come, see https://premodernconflictmanagement.org/conferences) .

We miss the travel, the coffee (sometimes good, sometimes bad) and the conversations over it (fun, because academics are fun!), but we do admit that online conferencing is nonetheless inspiring. [....]

On 17 September and 8 October, our VIDI project (premodern conflict management) is organizing two Digital Humanities webinars, based on the data management program Nodegoat.

Nodegoat is a program for data management for humanists and especially historians. It allows to build source databases for individual projects as well as cooperative ones, and to run network analysis and all kinds of visualizations directly from this database.

The webinar setup is the following:

17 September 10:00-12:30: Nodegoat creators (Pim van Bree & Geert Kessels) will give a general introduction of the features and possibilities, and our project team will show some examples on the basis of our work, and we will talk about our experience so far.

8 October 10:00-12:30: During the second webinar you can work with the program yourself – with online advice and feedback from the creators and the chat. You can try using the program by making the first steps towards setting up a database if you have never done it; if you have, you can adapt your current data model to see how it would work in Nodegoat, or you can simply use an existing database/data model and play with a case study etc. We will be there to help.[....]

Now also available as paperback: The Routledge Handbook of Maritime Trade around Europe 1300-1600Commercial Networks and Urban Autonomy, ed. by Wim Blockmans, Mikhail Krom, Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz

We have switched to online project meetings, article writing and very much appreciating the sources we have already gathered! Now they can be entered in our new nodegoat database. We have been developing the data model for our project in the last months.
