(With apologies for double posting) We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2027 edition of the Computational Humanities Research Conference (CHR 2027), which will take place on 5 to 8 January 2027, at the Centre for Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media<https://www.digital-humanities.manchester.ac.uk/>, University of Manchester. In recent years, the arts and humanities have seen a significant increase in the use of computational, statistical, and mathematical approaches. This kind of research is distinguished by its reliance on formal methods and the development of explicit, computational models—ranging from quantitative and statistical techniques to broader computational methods for processing and analysing data, as well as theoretical reflections on these approaches. The CHR conference seeks to be a venue where scholars can present and publish computational work while maintaining a strong connection to traditional humanities inquiry. More specifically, the conference has two key goals: 1. Building an inclusive community of researchers who apply computational and quantitative methods to humanities data in all its forms. We see this community as complementary to the broader digital humanities landscape and actively encourage participation from anyone bringing fresh perspectives to computational humanities. 2. Promoting excellent research. This includes fostering transparency and reproducibility through open code and data, supporting research designs that clarify theoretical frameworks and methodologies, and better accommodating interdisciplinary work that blends computational methods with humanities-driven questions. The deadline for full paper submissions is August 14, 2026. For further details, please consult the full Call for Papers here<https://2027.computational-humanities-research.org/cfp/>. If you have any questions, special requirements, or concerns, feel free to reach out to the organisers at [email protected]<https://mailto:[email protected]/>. Kind regards, Kaspar Beelen, Giovanni Colavizza and Evelyn Gius (CHR2027 programme chairs)
