International Conference - Captivity in War : a Global Perspective 23 / 24 MARCH 2018

Captivity in War: a Global Perspective

This conference will explore various issues relating to captivity in war in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. In recent years, the study of prisoners of war has increasingly attracted scholarly attention. However, it remains a neglected topic when it comes to research on wars, which often focuses either on the conduct of war itself or on the home front, with prisoners of war fitting in neither of those categories.

The aim of the conference is to bring together academics currently working on various aspects of captivity in war during the 19th and 20th centuries, and to discuss and explain how captivity in war varied and evolved during this period.
