This seminar will raise important new questions about the intersection of general criminality and antisemitic violence in the late Russian Empire. Historians Artur Markowski and Joachim Popek have compiled a unique dataset of murders, beatings, thefts, and property destruction in the Kingdom of Poland, and integrated spatial methods into their analysis of the archival record. Their research challenges us to recognize the significance of individual (in addition to collective) acts of violence and makes a major contribution to the literature on the geography of violence.
Dr. Artur Markowski is Associate Professor of History at the University of Warsaw.
Dr. Joachim Popek is Assistant Professor at the University of Rzeszów.
