The seminar will continue in a hybrid format, with a physical meeting in the Wharton Room, All Souls College, unless otherwise stated, together with simultaneous interactive access via Microsoft Teams. If any seminars need to move online, details will be announced in advance. There will be no need to reserve a seat in advance to attend in person.
The Teams session can be accessed by logging into Teams with your Oxford (.ox.ac.uk) account and joining the group “Medieval History Research Seminar” (team code rmppucs).
