#18: Eingesperrt?! Strafrechtsreformen in Deutschland und im kolonialen Indien
In this episode of our " Knowledge Unbound" podcast, Michaela Dimmers from the Max Weber Forum for South Asian Studies in New Delhi and Richard Wetzell from the German Historical Institute in Washington give us insights into the history of various criminal justice systems and the development of prisons. Richard Wetzell will tell us more about his research on criminal justice reform in Germany at the end of the 19th century and during the 20th century, which was particularly influenced by the ideas of the legal scholar Franz von Liszt. In addition, together with Michaela Dimmers, we will take a look at the function and development of prisons in colonial India. We pay particular attention to changes in juvenile criminal law.

#19: Kriegsgefangenschaft im Siebenjährigen Krieg
In the current episode of our podcast "Knowledge Unbound", Denis Sdvizkov and Leonard Dorn give us insights into the topic of captivity during the Seven Years' War from 1756 to 1763. Leonard Dorn uses mostly administrative documents to examine the dynamics of change in the field of captivity as a prisoner of war. Denis Sdvizkov uses field reports to take a look at Russia during the Seven Years' War, at captivity and at Russian cultural history. How did the hierarchical Society of the 18th century affect captivity? How were officers and soldiers treated? Did the phenomenon of captivity only emerge in the early modern period? Why is the topic of captivity relevant again today and what can we learn from it?
