Mediaevalists in the UK (with apologies for cross posting).

and will be a round table discussion with Dr Imre Galambos (Cambridge),

Please forward!
I've been told that the accommodation we have reserved for the Digital
Humanities at Oxford Summer School (4-8 July 2016) is filling up quickly.
Our events team is trying to source more accommodation and we'll place
details of it at
<http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/2016/getting-staying-here>
http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/2016/getting-staying-here when
available. You can still book accommodation when registering at the moment
but this may run out soon and delegates will then need to find their own
accommodation. Book early to guarantee a place!
