What did it mean to feel safe or secure for early modern populations? How did people persist and build futures for themselves and their families in challenging conditions? We welcome papers for the period 1400-1800 and for any geographical context.

Safety and security can be defined in multiple ways: economic, social, political, physical, psychological, cultural and emotional. Parents imagined futures for their children; children hoped for themselves; families aspired to long lineages and survival over generations.
