Dear Humanists!

The Emerging Digital Methodologies conference at the University of
Oxford is currently calling for papers. The central goal of the
conference is to bring together the many graduate students and early
career researchers using digital and computational methodologies across
the world.

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.

Submissions can be in any of 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/)

You can apply using the form available here

DescartesLaboratory - Second Season
<https://fbaldassarriphilo.wordpress.com/home/research/conferences/descartes-laboratory/> 2025/2026

We are pleased to announce the set of upcoming series, featuring 4
events/book presentations. Reflecting the richness of Cartesian studies,
the series treats different fields, spanning topics from the history of
science and medicine to ontology, politics, and linguistics.

The DescartesLab is an online initiative, dedicated to fostering
discussion on 17th-century Cartesianism. Our goal is to create a dynamic
space for dialogue and promote exchange among junior and senior scholars
alike.
