Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association January 2027 Issue: Computation, Interdisciplinarity, and the Humanities
Due Date: 01-15-2027
The advancement of artificial intelligence has transformed humanities research and education, deepening computation’s influence on scholarly practice and everyday life. From the early era of “humanities computing” in the 1970s to the rise of “computational humanities” over the past decade, this trajectory highlights the enduring—and expanding—role of computation in shaping inquiry across the humanities. This special issue of the Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association invites scholarly articles, critical essays, and book reviews that examine how interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration shape the transfer of computational methods between language and literary studies and the wider humanities.
