CFP: The First EACL Workshop on Linguistic Analysis for Health (HeaLing'26)
by Vera Danilova 17 Oct '25

17 Oct '25

📣First Call for Papers: The First International Workshop on Linguistic Analysis for Health (HeaLing'26) We are excited to announce the First Workshop on Linguistic Analysis for Health (HeaLing), at the EACL 2026 in Rabat, Morocco, on March 24–29, 2026. 📌Important Links: Workshop Website: https://healing-workshop.github.io Contact: healing-workshop(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:[email protected]> CFP & Submissions (OpenReview): https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/HeaLing 🗓️Key Dates: Direct Submission deadline: December 19, 2025 Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: January 2, 2026 Notification of acceptance: January 23, 2026 Camera-ready paper due: February 3, 2026 Workshop dates: March 24-29, 2026 Workshop Scope: Language-oriented approaches—such as discourse and conversation analysis, narrative medicine, and linguistic ethnography — have long been central to the qualitative study of how medical knowledge is produced, communicated, and experienced. Today, advances in natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) offer new possibilities for extending and scaling linguistic approaches across large health-related datasets. The HeaLing workshop invites contributions that integrate qualitative and computational methods to examine how language informs and transforms medicine as a social and scientific practice. A central focus of the workshop is the practical value of interpretive insights derived from language analysis. We welcome researchers from medical humanities, social and historical studies of medicine, and computational language sciences. The workshop will be held as a half-day event at EACL 2026. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Computational + qualitative discourse analysis of clinical, scientific, policy, and other health-related texts (media, guidelines, patient narratives, clinical notes). * Metaphor and framing in illness narratives, public health messaging, and clinical communication. * Narrative medicine, story-centered clinical interventions, and evaluation of their effects. * Historical and contemporary discourse studies of medical epistemologies (how concepts, categories, and expertise are constructed). * Language, power, and inequality: how linguistic framing shapes access, stigma, and policy for marginalized populations. * Methods for responsible use of NLP/LLMs in medical language research (bias, explainability, mixed-methods validation). * Digital humanities approaches: building and interrogating historical corpora, archives, and born-digital records. * Translational impact: case studies showing how interpretive linguistic insights led to concrete changes in practice, education, or policy. Submission Format and Reviewing Procedure: We accept original and unpublished research contributions (including surveys, position and theory papers) following the ACL format. The ACL Paper Styles are available at https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files (both Latex and Word): - Long papers: up to 8 pages (+ references) - Short papers: up to 4 pages (+ references). Camera-ready versions will be given one additional page to address reviewers' comments. Papers must be submitted anonymously. We accept submissions either through our own submission page<https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/HeaLing>, or via the general ACL Rolling Review. All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review by at least three reviewers, with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organizers. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and presented orally or as posters. Organizing Committee: Ylva Söderfeldt, Uppsala University, Sweden Vera Danilova, Uppsala University, Sweden Julia Reed, University of Vienna, Austria Murathan Kurfalı, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Sweden Gavin Farrell, University of Padua, Italy 📢 We strongly encourage submissions focusing on underrepresented languages and communities. ---Apologies for possible cross-posting--- När du har kontakt med oss på Uppsala universitet med e-post så innebär det att vi behandlar dina personuppgifter.

Call for Participation DHASA and RAIL

Call for Participation DHASA Conference and RAIL workshop 2025 https://dh2025.digitalhumanities.org.za https://sadilar.org/en/rail-2025/ DHASA conference dates: 11 November 2025-14 November 2025 RAIL workshop date: 10 November 2025 Conference venue: CSIR ICC, Pretoria, South Africa Registration: https://dh2025.digitalhumanities.org.za/registration/ DHASA CONFERENCE Theme: The role of humanities in digital humanities and artificial intelligence The Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) is pleased to announce its fifth conference, focusing on the theme The role of humanities in digital humanities and artificial intelligence. In a region where the field of Digital Humanities is still relatively underdeveloped, this conference aims to address this gap and foster growth and collaboration in the field. The conference offers an opportunity for researchers interested in showcasing their work in the broad field of Digital Humanities to come together. By doing so, the conference provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of- the-art in Digital Humanities, particularly within the Southern Africa region. As such, we welcome submissions related to Digital Humanities research conducted by individuals from Southern Africa or research focused on the geographical area of Southern Africa in the broad sense. Furthermore, the conference serves as a platform for information sharing and networking among researchers passionate about Digital Humanities. By bringing together experts working on Digital Humanities in Southern Africa or with a focus on Southern Africa, we aim to promote collaboration and facilitate further research in this dynamic field. In addition to the main conference, affiliated workshops and tutorials will be organised, providing researchers with valuable insights into novel technologies and tools. These supplementary events are designed for researchers interested in specific aspects of Digital Humanities or seeking practical information to enter or advance their knowledge in the field. The DHASA conference welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from researchers in various domains of Digital Humanities, including, but not limited to, language, literature, visual art, performance and theatre studies, media studies, music, history, sociology, psychology, language technologies, library studies, philosophy, methodologies, software and computation, AI, and more. Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive scientific community of practice within Digital Humanities. RAIL WORKSHOP Theme: Language resources in the age of large language models The sixth Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop will be co-located with the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) 2025 conference at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa, on 10 November 2025. The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on African indigenous languages resources such as natural languages processing (NLP) tools, Human Language Technologies (HLT), data collections, and annotations. This workshop aims to foster a scientific community of practice that focuses on computational linguistic tools and data that are designed for or applied to the indigenous languages of Africa. Many African languages are under-resourced while only a few are considered to be somewhat better resourced. These languages often share interesting properties such as writing systems, making them different from most high-resourced languages. From a computational perspective, these languages lack enough corpora to undertake high level development of NLP and HLT tools, which in turn impedes the development of African languages in these areas. During previous workshops, it was noted that the problems and solutions presented were not only applicable to African languages but were also relevant to many other low-resource languages across the world. Because these languages share similar challenges, this workshop provides researchers with opportunities to work collaboratively on issues of language resource development and learn from each other. The RAIL workshop has several aims. First, the workshop brings together researchers who work on African indigenous languages, forming a community of practice for people working on indigenous languages. Second, the workshop aims to reveal currently unknown or unpublished existing resources (corpora, NLP tools, and applications), resulting in a better overview of the current state-of-the-art, and also allows for discussions on novel, desired resources for future research in this area. Third, it enhances sharing of knowledge on the development of low-resource languages. Finally, it enables discussions on how to improve the quality as well as availability of the resources.

Information on the change of mailinglist systems for DHASA
by Menno Van Zaanen 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Hello, You are receiving this email, because you are a member of the mailinglist of the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA). We have moved the mailinglist from one system (Mailchimp) to another (Mailman). Emails from DHASA will now come from dhasa(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org and the subject will start with [DHASA]. Effectively, not much is changing, but the new system has some additional functionality. We will provide an overview of the functionality (essentially all of this is new): - You can contact the list owners by send email to dhasa-owner(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org. - There is a webinterface on https://lists.digitalhumanities.org/mailman/lists/dhasa.lists.digitalhumani… To log in you need a password. To get your password, you can use the Forgot Password? option. - On the webinterface, you can unsubscribe if you (really) do not want to receive emails from DHASA any more. - On the webinterface, you can also change a few settings, such as how often you want to receive the emails. - On the webinterface, there is also an archive function, so older emails sent on the list can still be found. - If you have information that you would like to share with the DHASA community, you can send that information to dhasa(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org. This is a moderated list, so your email will still need to be approved (particularly to disallow spam on the list). If you know of other people who would like to recieve emails related to DHASA or Digital Humanities information on Southern Africa, you can direct them to the webinterface where they can create an account and subscribe to the DHASA mailinglist.
