Kevin Gould

Kevin Gould is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Humanities at Nottingham Trent University's School of Social Sciences. He specializes in Late Medieval/Early Modern European Society, Culture, and Religion, with a focus on confessional violence during the French Wars of Religion (1562-1598). His teaching includes modules on Religion and Religious Change, Death and Remembrance, and practical historical research methods.

• Research supervision areas: Late Medieval/Early Modern European Society, Culture, and Religion
• Current research: Impact of edicts of pacification during the French Wars of Religion, with emphasis on how plague and famine influenced sectarian dynamics and crown authority
• External activity: Web Editor for the Society for the Study of French History (SSFH), UK

His work challenges traditional narratives about the French crown's use of legislation to suppress religious conflict, asking whether non-military crises like disease and food scarcity played a critical role in achieving truce. He also contributes to the European Reformations Research Group.
