Eighty years after the Nuremberg Trials, where perpetrators justified their actions by claiming that they had merely followed orders, obedience to authority remains a central concern across history, psychology, and related fields. Research has shown that mass violence is not only the product of ideological conviction, but also of ordinary individuals acting within specific institutional, social, and organizational contexts.
This interdisciplinary conference brings together historians and scholars from related fields with psychologists and neuroscientists to create a space for structured dialogue.
Deadline: 15 May 2026
