The Research Centre Early Modern Morals invites submissions to an international
conference held in Jyväskylä, Finland, June 10th – 12th, 2015. The annual
Gustav Wasa conference has established itself as a venue for early modern period
research. The focus of 2015 conference will be the state of European nobility
