On 1 December, submissions close for the #DHBenelux2026 conference, which will take place in Maastricht in June 2026 with 'Digital Storytelling' as its theme. That means you have 10 days left to submit your abstract on any digital humanities research! See the CfP: 2026.dhbenelux.org/call-for-pap...

My research explores the reception of information by non-experts in the early modern Low Countries, using a computational approach. The dissertation is available for reading online: scholarlypublications.universiteitleiden.nl/handle/1887/...
