Please forward!
There are less than two weeks left before the registration deadline of 13 June 2016 for the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School (4-8 July 2016). Two of our workshops are now full, but the other 6 still have room. I'd especially highlight two workshops that are new this year, one on "Analysing Humanities Data" (which uses the Wolfram Language for the analysis, processing and visualisation of humanities data), and the other on "Social Humanities: Citizens at Scale in the Digital World" (looking at social media, citizen science and social machines). Not sure which to take? Our ever-popular "An Introduction to Digital Humanities" workshop gives a thorough overview of the theory and practice of Digital Humanities.
Register as soon a possible to guarantee a place! There are reduced fees for academics and students. Block booking discounts are also available. Any questions? Ask events@it.ox.ac.uk for more information.
