    Jonas van Tol is assistant professor in early modern history, focussing on war, conflict, and violence before ca. 1800. Before starting at the UvA, he obtained his BA in History (York, 2011), MPhil in Early Modern History (Cambridge, 2012), and PhD (York 2016). From 2016 to 2018 he worked as university lecturer at the University of Leiden. In his research and teaching he focusses on the transnational impact of religious violence during the Reformation.
