Dear Oxford Medievalists,
Hello from your new Social Medial officer!
As we prepare for the start of term, I want to encourage anyone and everyone to contribute ideas for content on the Oxford Medieval Studies social media.
We are active anywhere and everywhere — Beacons (this platform), BlueSky, Instagram, and Threads — and eagerly awaiting your suggestions.
If you want an event, workshop, or seminar advertised, please let me know and I will spread the word!
If (when!) something exciting happens in your research, we can raise awareness about that too!
I hope to hear from many of you throughout the year. Wishing everyone a great start to a new term, with a reflection on the weird and wonderful of medieval manuscripts:
Customer: I’d like a letter ‘E’ please.
Scribe: A normal one, or a snail-helmeted warrior with an ostrich leg and plums down his pants?
Customer: The plums one, obviously.
Cheers,
Elizabeth Crabtree
