Professor William G. Naphy is a prominent historian at the University of Aberdeen, retiring in 2024 after nearly three decades of service. His work focuses on the Reformation, Calvin's Geneva, urban governance, social control, plague and disease, gender studies, witchcraft, and the cultural history of religion. A symposium titled Convictions and Suspicions in Early Modernity: A Symposium in Honour of Professor William G. Naphy will be held in Aberdeen on 22 November 2024 to celebrate his contributions.
His research spans themes such as early modernity’s 'convictions and suspicions,' including the intersection of religion, power, and societal norms. The event at the Sir Duncan Rice Library will feature discussions aligned with his interdisciplinary approach to history.
Professor Naphy’s affiliation with the School of Divinity, History, Philosophy & Art History underscores his role in fostering scholarship in early modern studies. Though no explicit awards or grants are detailed, his legacy is marked by the symposium’s tribute and his extensive academic tenure.
