Convictions and Suspicions in Early Modernity: A Symposium in Honour of Professor William G. Naphy
In light of the significance of the work of Professor Bill Naphy, retiring in 2024 after nearly three decades at Aberdeen, Convictions and Suspicions in Early Modernity: A Symposium in Honour of Professor William G. Naphy, will be held in Aberdeen in the Sir Duncan Rice Library (Craig Suite) on Friday 22 November 2024. The gathering will explore themes related to his range of work. Bill’s research addresses the Reformation and Calvin’s Geneva, urban life and government, social control, plague and disease, sex and gender, witchcraft, the history of homosexuality, and more widely the cultural history of religion – in other words matters of conviction and suspicion in early modernity.
