INTERVIEW -Victorian Election Violence Project

We have a bit of a change of format today. In honour of the upcoming devolved and local election in the UK we have a really interesting interview with Dr Patrick Kuhn (@patmkuhn) from the Causes and Consequences of Electoral Violence: Evidence from England and Wales, 1832–1914 project (@VictorianEV_UK). 

There's a great discussion of the project and how we can use history to learn about modern forms of violence. There are also some pretty great stories about the more whimsical side of Victorian elections!

Check out the project for loads of great blog posts and updates, with some longer publications coming from them later in the year.
