And the final volume in the series on the modern world, edited by the incomparable Joanna Bourke. Such a treat to have her along for the ride.

Volume 5 of the Cultural History of Violence, on the Age of Empire, edited by Amanda Nettelbeck. Always a delight to work with.

And now things really start to get crazy. Volume 3 of the Cultural History of Violence, edited by Jonathan Davies.

Volume 2 of the Cultural History of Violence looks at the Middle Ages, edited by the brilliant Sara Butler. Things were not as bad as pop culture makes out.

The first volume in the series edited by Fiona McHardy.

The six-volume Cultural History of Violence is finally in press. Due for release in September 2025. A little behind schedule but we got there in the end. My thanks to all involved. I will post volume covers over the next day or two.

On 11/11 we hosted ‘Maintaining the Rage: Universities & the eradication of gendered violence’ with the COE for Equity in Higher Education at Newcastle City Hall. Elizabeth Roberts-Pederson, Penny Jane Burke, Jean Parker & Chris Krogh reflected on how universities can address gender based violence.
