CFP: LT4HALA 2026 at LREC 2026
by Rachele Sprugnoli 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

CFP: LT4HALA 2026 - The Fourth Workshop on Language Technologies for Historical and Ancient Languages Website: https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/ Date: Monday, May 11 2026 Place: co-located with LREC 2026, May 11-16, Palma, Mallorca (Spain) Submission page: https://softconf.com/lrec2026/LT4HALA2026/ DESCRIPTION LT4HALA 2026 is a one-day workshop that seeks to bring together scholars who are developing and/or are using Language Technologies (LTs) for historically attested languages, so to foster cross-fertilization between the Computational Linguistics community and the areas in the Humanities dealing with historical linguistic data, e.g. historians, philologists, linguists, archaeologists and literary scholars. LT4HALA 2026 follows LT4HALA 2020, 2022, 2024 that were organized in the context of LREC 2020, LREC 2022 and LREC-COLING 2024, respectively. Despite the current availability of large collections of digitized texts written in historical languages, such interdisciplinary collaboration is still hampered by the limited availability of annotated linguistic resources for most of the historical languages. Creating such resources is a challenge and an obligation for LTs, both to support historical linguistic research with the most updated technologies and to preserve those precious linguistic data that survived from past times. Relevant topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: creation and annotation of linguistic resources (both lexical and textual); the role of digital infrastructures, such as CLARIN <https://www.clarin.eu/>, in supporting research based on language resources for historical and ancient languages; handling spelling variation; detection and correction of OCR errors; deciphering; morphological/syntactic/semantic analysis of textual data; adaptation of tools to address diachronic/diatopic/diastratic variation in texts; teaching ancient languages with LTs; NLP-driven theoretical studies in historical linguistics; NLP-driven analysis of literary ancient texts; evaluation of LTs designed for historical and ancient languages; LLMs for the automatic analysis of ancient texts. SHARED TASKS LT4HALA 2026 will also host: the 4th edition of EvaLatin <https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaLatin>, a campaign entirely devoted to the evaluation of NLP tools for Latin. This new edition will focus on two tasks: dependency parsing and Named Entity Recognition. Dependency parsing will be based on the Universal Dependencies framework. the 5th edition of EvaHan <https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaHan>, the campaign for the evaluation of NLP tools for Ancient Chinese. EvaHan 2026 will focus on Ancient Chinese OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Evaluation. the 2nd edition of EvaCun <https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaCun>, the campaign for the evaluation of Ancient Cuneiform Languages, with shared tasks on transliteration normalization, morphological analysis and lemmatization, Named Entity Recognition of Akkadian and/or Sumerian. SUBMISSIONS Submissions should be 4 to 8 pages in length and follow the LREC stylesheet (see below). The maximum number of pages excludes potential Ethics Statements and discussion on Limitations, acknowledgements and references, as well as data and code availability statements. Appendices or supplementary material are not permitted during the initial submission phase, as papers should be self-contained and reviewable on their own. Papers must be of original, previously unpublished work. Papers must be anonymized to support double-blind reviewing. Submissions thus must not include authors’ names and affiliations. The submissions should also avoid links to non-anonymized repositories: the code should be either submitted as supplementary material in the final version of the paper, or as a link to an anonymized repository (e.g., Anonymous GitHub or Anonym Share). Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Submissions should follow the LREC stylesheet, which is available on the LREC 2026 website on the Author’s kit page <https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/>. Each paper will be reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, which include both oral and poster papers in the same format. Determination of the presentation format (oral vs. poster) is based solely on an assessment of the optimal method of communication (more or less interactive), given the paper content. As for the shared tasks, participants will be required to submit a technical report for each task (with all the related sub-tasks) they took part in. Technical reports will be included in the proceedings as short papers: the maximum length is 4 pages (excluding references) and they should follow the LREC 2026 official format. Reports will receive a light review (we will check for the correctness of the format, the exactness of results and ranking, and overall exposition). All participants will have the possibility to present their results at the workshop. Reports of the shared tasks are not anonymous. WORKSHOP IMPORTANT DATES 17 February 2026: submissions due 13 March 2026: reviews due 16 March 2026: notifications to authors 27 March 2026: camera-ready due Shared tasks deadlines are available in the specific web pages: EvaLatin <https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaLatin>, EvaHan <https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaHan>, EvaCun <https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaCun>. Identify, Describe and Share your LRs! When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).

Dear List Members, We are pleased to announce the following Call for Papers for the International Conference* “Translating Latin in the Contemporary World”*, to be held in June, 11-12, 2026, at the University of Bologna (Italy). The conference will address the topic of translation of Latin texts into modern languages – both natural and computer-based – by combining theoretical, historical, and cultural perspectives on translation. The goal is to bring together scholars from translation studies, classics, modern languages, comparative literature, linguistics, and digital humanities, to foster an interdisciplinary discussion of how the translation of Latin continues to shape the cultural and intellectual landscapes of the contemporary world. The conference will feature two keynote lectures by *Alexandra Lianeri *(Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and *Siri Nergaard* (University of South-Eastern Norway). We invite proposals that address the topic of translation of Latin texts into modern languages from a variety of perspectives, including but not limited to the following areas: - Challenges arising from the translation of Latin into modern languages – such as linguistic categories absent from either source or target language, stylistic and rhetorical features, or translation of *realia* - Case studies of Latin translations that have played a key role in the development of a given national literature or intellectual tradition - Instances of ideological or cultural manipulation of Latin texts in their modern translations - Comparative analyses of multiple translations of the same Latin text into a given language - The impact of digital humanities, machine translation, and artificial intelligence on the translation and interpretation of Latin texts - Didactic perspectives on the use of AI-based tools for the automatic translation of Latin texts - Pedagogical perspectives on translation as a hermeneutic tool for learning Latin - Cognitive approaches to translation and their relevance to the study of classical languages. *Contributions focusing on less commonly studied languages and traditions are particularly welcome.* Please send abstracts of up to 300 words for 20-minute papers (followed by a 10-minute discussion). Abstracts may be submitted in Italian, English, French, German, or Spanish; however, the working languages of the conference will be Italian and English. Submissions will be subject to blind review by the scientific committee. Please send your proposal to translating.latin(a)gmail.com by *15 January 2026*, attaching an anonymous abstract and including the following information in the body of the email: paper title, author’s name, affiliation, and email address for correspondence. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 February 2026.

02 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to a workshop/poster slam organized by the ADHO Special Interest Group Pedagogy and Training as part of the DH2026 conference in Daejon. Please note that this event will take place as a workshop in the pre-conference program – all poster submissions for this workshop will be reviewed by the SIG leaders, but are independent of poster submissions for the DH2026 conference! The DH Pedagogy and Training SIG will hold a Pedagogy Poster Slam at the 2026 DH Conference in Daejeon, South Korea. The Pedagogy Poster Slam will take place during the SIG’s reserved slot during one of the conference’s two workshop days, either Monday, 27 July 2026, or Tuesday, 28 July 2026. Posters will either focus on a) a specific assignment for a DH or DH-inflected course or b) an entire course. During the workshop, participants will first participate in the Slam, where they will have a maximum of 120 seconds to discuss one aspect of their assignment or course. Once the participants have all spoken, the rest of the workshop will be devoted to a conventional poster session, where attendees can engage with the presenters at their posters. Presenters will be encouraged to bring print copies of their assignment/syllabus to distribute to attendees. All conference attendees will be welcome to attend the workshop and slam. (Plus, there will be food!) Call for Proposals The SIG Conveners invite all members of the DH community to submit proposals for the Pedagogy Poster Slam. Proposals will include · 150 words or fewer about the context of the assignment, course, or workshop · 200 words or fewer about the assignment, course, or workshop · An upload of either the assignment or the course syllabus Proposals should be submitted via the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/zdkNEHXPDppXQz3E6. Proposals are due by the end of 5 January 2026. Accepted participants will be notified not later than 5 February 2026. Proposals will be peer reviewed by the SIG Conveners. N.B. Please be aware that posters submitted to the pre-conference SIG Pedagogy Poster Slam are distinct from the DH2026 poster submission category. The Program Committee for DH2026 has indicated that you are welcome to submit posters to both the main conference as well as to this SIG workshop, although the submission format is significantly different. Depositing Posters Following the Conference, the SIG Conveners will create and curate a collection of the posters and associated pedagogical documents.

The deadline is February 1st, 2026. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded) via EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026>. The conference is organised by the TALOS Centre in AI4SSH of the University of Crete (Horizon ERA Chair TALOS AI4SSH ID: 101087269) in collaboration with the Department of Philology, University of Crete. Learn more at the conference webpage<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/events/conferences/semantic-annotation-for-the-…>. Contact the organizers: sa4aw.contact(a)gmail.com Description We invite proposals for the 2nd Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World (SA4AW) conference, which examines the role of semantic annotation in dialogue with hybrid AI approaches, large language models (LLMs), deep learning, and knowledge graphs in the study of the ancient world and cultural heritage. Semantic annotation—whether manual, automated, or human-in-the-loop—enables the identification and linking of concepts, entities, and relationships, transforming raw textual and visual data into structured, interoperable knowledge. At a moment when LLMs can generate fluent interpretations but require grounding in domain-specific context, semantic annotation and knowledge graphs provide essential transparency, precision, and reusability. We welcome contributions that showcase methods, tools, case studies, theoretical reflections, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. In line with FAIR and Linked Open Data principles, the conference encourages open and accessible research practices. Conference proceedings will be published in open access online format. We encourage proposals on the following themes: * Semantic annotation in the era of LLMs (hybrid workflows, grounding, explainability) * Ontology-driven annotation and knowledge modelling * Knowledge graphs and Linked Open Data for ancient world studies * Human-in-the-loop annotation: methods, strategies, and pedagogy * Automatic and semi-automatic annotation pipelines * Cross-lingual and multilingual annotation (Ancient Greek, Latin, and historical languages) * Annotation and disambiguation of ancient places, persons, and cultural entities * NER and entity linking for ancient languages * RDF-based and ontology-aware digital editions * Standards, interoperability, and data sustainability (FAIR principles) * Platforms, tools, and reproducible workflows for annotation and data reuse Submission details: We invite proposals from all scholars, junior and senior, working in the topic areas of the conference. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded, free format). Submissions will be reviewed via double-blind peer review through EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026> . Paper presentations will be 20 minutes long, with extra time for questions and discussion. The working language of the conference is English. A longer version of accepted papers will be published in an edited volume after the conference. More details about the edited volume are forthcoming. Important dates: * 1st announcement of the Call for abstracts: November 21st, 2025 * Deadline for submission: February 1st, 2026 * Notification of acceptance to authors: February 20th, 2026 * Deadline for confirmation of participation by accepted authors: February 28th, 2026 * Submission of camera-ready abstract: April 1st, 2026 * Conference dates: May 7th-8th, 2026 * Submission of camera-ready version (of final paper): December 1st, 2026 * Publication of Edited Volume: July 2027 Rachel Milio (she/her) PhD Candidate of TALOS-AI4SSH<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/>, Semantic Annotation of Texts TALOS Address: University of Crete Research Center (UCRC), Level 1-Building Γ- Room Γ2 Gallos Campus, University of Crete, Rethymno, GR 74100 Office Phone: +30 28310 77141 Mobile Phone: +30 69816 31347 University Email: philp0997(a)philology.uoc.gr

10 December: CDCS Annual Lecture
by Jessica Witte 19 Nov '25

19 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, Please join us on 10 December for the Centre for Data, Culture & Society Annual Lecture which will be given by Dorothy Berry, Digital Curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. When: 10 December, 16.00-18.30 GMT Where: Room 2.55, 1 Lauriston Place, The University of Edinburgh and online Title: How Users Imagine Archival Research: JPCA Explore and Digital Curation at the Smithsonian National African American History and Culture Museum Abstract: In 2021, the National Museum of African American History and Culture created a first-of-its-kind position at the Smithsonian Institution: a senior level curator with the wide-ranging portfolio of “digital interpretation.” Filling this position has called for creative education, especially when working with curatorial colleagues with a range of experiences and interests in digital humanities. In the past year, we’ve had a unique opportunity to introduce the possibilities of digital discoveries internally through the JPCA Explore project. The Johnson Publishing Company Archive (JPCA) is the largest collection of 20th century African American publishing materials, including a core collection of over 3 million photographs.  The JPCA was purchased in 2019 by a consortium of funders - the Ford Foundation, the J. Paul Getty Trust, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Smithsonian Institution. Since 2022, it has been formally co-stewarded by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and Getty. JPCA Explore is an experimental discovery lens in the larger in-development JPCA digital eco-system.  Based on a hand-selected subset of 3,000 images, Explore uses a bespoke metadata schema to invite users with zero research experience to create their own discovery paths by selecting inter-connected images. Explore was designed with an eye towards how the general public imagines archival discovery-moving from file to file, noticing connections, discovering the unknown. It has also served as an internal education tool, demonstrating the possibilities of digital humanities work as well as the intensive resources that are required to make those possibilities real. This talk will focus on the development of JPCA Explore and how it reflects wider issues around creating human-scale digital projects that still represent the magnitude of larger collections. By creating an interface with a focus on archival discovery, and at the same time completely ignoring archival hierarchical structures, this project seeks to implement Black Digital Humanities concepts to create new avenues into this archive. Please note that this will be a hybrid event. For those attending in person, there will be festive refreshments and a chance to network after the event.

Webinar: teaching humanities in the age of AI (11 November, 3pm GMT)
by Emily Middleton 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

Hi all, Please see below for details of an event happening next week in collaboration with Gale and *Research Information* on project-based learning with Gale Digital Scholar Lab. You can register for the webinar, taking place 11 November at 3pm GMT, here: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738439&tp_key=9c1868453f. Full info: https://www.researchinformation.info/webcast/teaching-humanities-in-the-age… Teaching Humanities in the Age of AI – 11 Nov 2025, 3pm GMT. Supported by Gale REGISTER FOR FREE <https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738439&tp_key=9c1868453f> AI is one of the biggest global challenges to education. Coming at a time when universities also face ideological attacks, and disciplines in the arts and humanities are continually asked to demonstrate their modern relevance, the explosion in the use of generative AI tools has rocked how we teach and learn. The principal challenge comes from the ease with which learners can generate plausible-looking written work. Managing this puts a significant burden on institutions to develop policies around the use of AI, and on educators themselves. Consequently, many Higher Education institutions are exploring new ways to adapt and to develop AI-resilient methods of teaching, learning and assessment. This webinar will discuss alternatives that hold great potential in the face of AI: Project Based Learning (PBL) and digital humanities techniques. Drawing on real-life classroom experiences, we’ll see how introducing PBL through *Gale Digital Scholar Lab* provides a framework for teaching which is broadly AI-resistant, helping students to use GenAI responsibly and be critical of data, as well as giving them new ways of communicating in digital environments. Who Should Attend? Educators, librarians, curriculum development staff and university leadership who are: • Concerned about AI; • Looking to work out how best to evolve assessment in the world of GenAI; • Interested in incorporating DH into their curriculum; and • Already using digital humanities in their classroom, but looking for further tips and advice. What You’ll Learn • How digital humanities and Project-Based Learning can future-proof classrooms in the face of AI; • How to use tools which help educators new to digital humanities get started quickly; • Practical solutions for classroom use; • Ways to boost student digital literacy, and responsible use of AI; • Evidence of the continuing value of traditional humanities skills; and • Ways to champion humanities departments which are looking to demonstrate their relevance. SPEAKERS: Dr Emily Middleton Lecturer in Digital Humanities, University of Leeds Drawing on Emily’s classroom experiences using the Lab, we’ll gain a clear understanding of how digital humanities and Project-Based Learning provide a framework for her students to develop important critical and digital skills to navigate the new GenAI environment effectively and ethically. Chris Houghton Head of Academic Partnerships, Gale Chris, Head of Academic Partnerships at Gale, leads initiatives to integrate digital scholarship into humanities and social science practice. He will summarise the Gen AI landscape and outline the links between AI, digital humanities, and Project-Based Learning. MODERATOR: Tim Gillett, Research Information SPONSORS: <https://www.gale.com/> Gale, part of Cengage Group, partners with librarians and educators around the world to connect learners to essential content through user-friendly technology that enhances experiences and improves learning outcomes. www.gale.com Webcast date: 11 November 2025 - 15:00

Seminar Announcement – George Bruseker, Ontologies for Art History: Modelling Creative Processes and Evolving Meanings (3 November, 4 p.m., Rennes 2 / online)
by clarisse bardiot 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Dear colleagues, Here is a seminar announcement that may be of interest to some of you. Best regards, Clarisse Bardiot George Bruseker - Takins.solutions Ontologies for Art History: Modelling Creative Processes and Evolving Meanings. 3 novembre, 16h, salle T 233 (hybride) This lecture explores how formal ontologies and semantic data modelling can help art historians represent and connect complex cultural information in ways that go beyond the structuration and mindset imposed by traditional databases. We will examine how such approaches can support expressive and representative research datasets that have much more capacity to capture the complexity and nuance of the historical record while also standing as sus- tainable resources that can be reused across projects and disciplines. I will first reflect on the strengths and limitations of existing standards such as the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, now widely used in cultu- ral heritage documentation. I will then introduce two recent ontological frameworks: the Creative Process Representation Ontology (CPRo), which en- ables the modelling of creative activity as it unfolds across processes, forms into documents, is reinterpreted and performed; and the Art and Architectural Argumentation Ontology (AAAo), which provides a way to repre- sent social facts, conventions, and the evolving meaning and valuation of works over time. Throughout, I will illustrate these ideas with examples from art history, showing how they can illuminate not only objects and texts but also the dynamics of events, collaborations, and reception. No prior knowledge of ontologies or data modelling is assumed; the emphasis will be on making these ideas accessible and relevant to historical research on the arts. George Bruseker is a researcher and practitioner in semantic data modelling and cultural heritage informatics. He is Vice Chair of the CIDOC CRM Special Interest Group and co-founder of Takin.solutions Ltd., where he leads projects on ontological modelling and semantic platforms for heritage data. He is also a Research Affiliate at the Swiss Art Research Infrastructure (SARI). Trained as a philosopher and historian (PhD, University of Athens), Bruseker has contributed extensively to international standards such as CIDOC CRM, Linked.Art, and the Arches platform. His work develops frameworks for representing creative processes, social valuation, and provenance in art history, making complex heritage information more interoperable and reusable across disciplines and time. Seminar L’art des données, les données de l’art – Season 3 As part of the European research project STAGE – From Stage to Data: The Digital Turn of Contemporary Performing Arts Historiography, directed by Clarisse Bardiot, this research seminar offers an in-depth introduction to the issues, concepts, methods, and tools involved in the digital study of texts, images, and cultural data. It aims to address the challenges and opportunities related to the use of digital data in art research – particularly in the developing fields of digital art history and culture analytics – and to show how the digital humanities open new research perspectives in the humanities. The seminar takes place on Mondays from 4 to 6 p.m.: – in person at the Villejean campus of the University of Rennes 2 – or online via Zoom. Registration is required via the following form so that the link can be sent to you.

[RefExtract25] 2025-11-4 Program published
by Wagner, Andreas 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

(Apologies for crosspostings you may receive) Dear all, we are excited to publish the final program of the Workshop "Reference Extraction at the Intersection of AI Research and the Digital Humanities: Validation, Interoperability and Collaboration", to be held at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory<https://www.lhlt.mpg.de/> (mpilhlt) in Frankfurt/Main on Tuesday, 4th Nov 2025. It is the second workshop in the "New Approaches for the Extraction of Heterogeneous Reference Data" series<https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/> at mpilhlt started in 2023. This informal meeting is meant mainly to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of data extraction, artificial intelligence, and the digital humanities. In the workshop, we continue to address the challenge of extracting heterogeneous references from texts, particularly from historical documents and humanities or legal scholarship. This second workshop focuses on three key themes emerging from the 2023 discussions: 1. Validation: How can we evaluate and benchmark the performance of different reference extraction tools and approaches, particularly with large language models? 2. Interoperability: How can we ensure that different tools, datasets, and workflows can work together effectively through shared data models and formats? 3. Collaboration: How can researchers, developers, and institutions work together to advance the field of reference extraction? The program is attached and available online at: https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/workshop-2025/programme/ The event will take place in-person and online. Please register at https://plan.events.mpg.de/e/refextract25 if you haven't done so already. A link for online attendance will be sent to registered participants before the event. Also, even if you cannot attend, but want to be informed about updates, materials being made available, etc. you can notify us about this at the registration link. We are looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!

CFP: Third Annual Immersive Technologies and Cultural Heritage (ITCH) Symposium
by Curtis Fletcher 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

We invite proposals for the third annual Immersive Technologies and Cultural Heritage (ITCH) Symposium, jointly organized by the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences; the Ahmanson Lab of the Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study in the USC Libraries; and the UCLA XR Initiative. The ITCH symposium will take place as a live, in-person event on Friday, November 14, at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. We seek innovative projects rooted in the humanities or humanistic social sciences that mobilize immersive technologies (including but not limited to augmented reality, mixed reality, virtual reality, photogrammetry, or 3D modeling) to enable close engagement with cultural heritage materials, or to open new possibilities for research, teaching, and learning with cultural heritage materials. We welcome work at any stage of development, with preference for projects that have at least completed a proof-of-concept, working prototype, or other early-stage exploratory development. We particularly seek projects working at the intersection of digital technologies and the liberal arts. In the interest of building a regional scholarly community, we will give priority to proposals from greater Southern California. Participants will: * Pre-circulate materials related to their current project two weeks prior to the symposium (e.g., a draft article, website, VR/AR experience, 3D model). * Give a 10-15-minute presentation summarizing their project’s context, goals, and implications for humanities scholarship at the symposium. * Offer comments, feedback, and questions on other participants’ projects. * Participate in a concluding roundtable discussion of the promise and perils of immersive technologies for humanities research, teaching, and learning. Workshop discussions will foreground humanities questions, interdisciplinary elements, and user experience in project development. To apply, send a single PDF document containing the project or presentation title; the name, title, and affiliation of each presenter; a 300-word abstract describing the project; any relevant URLs; and a one-page CV for each presenter to digitalhumanities(a)usc.edu<mailto:[email protected]> by end-of-day on Monday, October 13, 2025.

Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Centre for Computing Humanities officially becoming a department of KCL, and 15th anniversary of being renamed as Department of Digital Humanities in 2011, we welcome scholars from around the world to critically reflect on what ‘digital’ entails in today’s world. Digital technologies have transformed the ways we live, work, create, and connect. From online grassroots movements to open-source tools, from digital archives to experimental art and music created with code, the digital has become a vital part of how we express ourselves, tell stories, and shape our futures. In our daily lives, the digital enables new forms of community and care, especially for those historically excluded from institutional or geographic centres of power. But these same technologies have also raised urgent questions. There is a growing concern across various disciplines and communities. Recent political, environmental and technological developments have shown that we cannot afford to treat “the digital” as neutral. It is shaped by geographies, specificities, regulatory environments, sociocultural contexts, and linguistic hierarchies, which condition how digital technologies are produced, used, and experienced across the globe. From the resurgence of extremist ideologies and algorithmic manipulation of public discourse, to the exploitative dynamics of platform economies and the environmental costs of large-scale computing, the digital now permeates nearly every aspect of our lives. Artificial intelligence is being used against workers, stealing their creative outputs and triggering a race to the bottom of working conditions. In addition to the socio-political impact of generative AI models, the deleterious environmental effects are also becoming increasingly clear. At the same time, computational and digital methods have enabled new forms of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and public-facing humanities research. They are reshaping not only our methodological choices but also how we conceptualise methods themselves—prompting us to revisit questions of reliability and reproducibility. These methods offer powerful tools for analysis, visualisation, preservation, and dissemination, while also enriching humanities scholarship by scaling up our analyses and opening up new avenues of inquiry. Unlike the underlying code, “the digital” is never binary. This is why, more than ever, we need to come together to discuss and debate its implications. There is a long tradition of critical research on digital methods and other issues concerning “the digital” at King’s, dating back to the early 1970s. The Department of Digital Humanities, established as the Centre for Computing in the Humanities in 1992, has been a key site for this work. Today it is home to a wide range of approaches to developing and applying digital methods in the humanities, as well as to interrogating the broader social, cultural, and ethical dimensions of the digital. Building on over fifty years of innovation and critical inquiry, this event invites scholars, practitioners, and communities to reflect on the role of Digital Humanities as both a methodological practice and a lens to understand and shape the digital world. We invite proposals that explore (but are not limited to) the following themes: * Computational humanities and computing culture: computational history, music computing, geoanalytics, digital classics, computational linguistics, computational social science, cultural analytics, computational literary studies * Creative digital practice and the arts, music and the digital, arts-based methods * Design, Interfaces, and Interaction: UX/UI * Digital ecologies, environmental justice and sustainable digital futures * Digital gaming and play * Digital health, digital care, and transformation of the care industry * Digital knowledge and epistemologies and critical technical practices and digital methods * Digital labour and economies, platform studies * Digital media * Digital Research Infrastructures and funding * Embodiment and identity: the digital and the embodied, digital childhood & youth * Global and decolonial digital cultures, digital commons, digital audiences, creator cultures * Politics, power, and resistance in the digital age: digital politics, deplatformisation, the digital university, engaged digital research We welcome contributions from across the humanities and beyond, from those who use and interrogate digital tools and those who develop them. We invite proposals for paper presentations (max. 15 mins) and panels (max. 4 x 15 mins) with a title and an abstract of no longer than 300 words, along with a short biography, no longer than 50 words. You can submit proposals via THIS FORM until the deadline of 30/09/2025. We aim to notify acceptance of abstracts by 15.11.2025. Please note: The conference will be face-to-face only, with career plenary sessions instead of keynotes (a panel consisting of academics from every stage). We offer a limited number of conference fee waivers, as well as limited numbers of partial bursaries for travel and accommodation. We will provide more information on these and conference fees after acceptance of abstracts have been sent out. For any inquiries, please contact thedigitalconference(a)kcl.ac.uk.
