The second international conference of the Research Network on Military, War and Gender/Diversity (MKGD), organised in cooperation with the Bundeswehr Centre for Military History and Social Sciences (ZMSBw), explores the interconnected themes of masculinities, armed forces and violence in transition. Our focus is on comparisons across time and space that highlight continuities/ruptures and similarities/differences. The regional focus is on Europe broadly defined in its global context. The temporal framework ranges from the early modern period to the present, including the aftermath and memories of World War II.
