Emerging Digital Methodologies CfP [18 Nov, Oxford, Call closes Aug 28th]
Call for Papers now open | Emerging Digital Methodologies Conference 2026
We are inviting graduate students and early career researchers who are applying new digital methodologies to the humanities, and related fields, to share that research at the Emerging Digital Methodologies Conference 2026 in Oxford on Wednesday 18 November 2026.
Since the turn of the millennium, digital and computational methodologies have become increasingly prolific at the cutting edge of language and humanities research. This conference invites graduate students and early career researchers applying new digital methodologies to the humanities and related fields to share that research. We are particularly interested in hearing about research involving digital methods being used to rethink established fields, new applications for conventional digital methods, and how digital methodologies are being translated in the cross-disciplinary space.
This in-person conference sponsored by the Jesus College Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub and Voltaire Foundation invites presenters from any discipline to submit papers on:
· New applications of digital methods
· The use case and problems of any digital method
· How digital methodologies are changing their field
We invite submissions in the following formats:
· 7-minute lightning talks (especially suitable for early findings or work-in-progress)
· 15-minute papers
· 30-minute roundtable conversations (minimum 3 participants)
The conference will capture a wide range of subject areas across the many communities of scholars taking-up digital methods – both from novices and expert practitioners. Papers could include, for example, ‘Problems of LLM’s in the Humanities’, ‘ChatGPT and visual culture’, ‘A Network Analysis of 16c Europe’, ‘Crafting music in the age of AI’, ‘The problems of control-f in the modern age’, ‘Book culture and language models’, ‘NLP processing of 20c films’, etc.
Tickets for the conference will be £38 pounds per-person, including tea breaks, lunch and a wine reception. More information to follow.
To apply, please complete the form below with a proposal for a paper (200 words maximum) and a short biography (50 words maximum) by 5pm (UK British Summer Time) on Tuesday 28 August 2026.
To apply to speak, you can submit a 200-word abstract and a short biography using the form available here.
