📜 CfP: Minimal Computing and the Middle Ages, IMC2026, Leeds (UK)

The session will explore the intersection of #minimalcomputing and #medieval studies for sustainable, accessible, and ethical approaches to #digital scholarship in a time of limited resources.

📅Deadline: 23:59 BST, 10/09/25
The image is a flyer advertising a call for papers for a session at the IMC2026, Leeds with the following text: Call for Papers: Minimal Computing and the Middle Ages (Leeds International Medieval Congress 2026) Minimal computing is a loose set of ideas and methodologies in digital humanities research, broadly based around the idea of limitations in resources, whether financial, environmental, infrastructural, labour, or otherwise. As Risam and Gill (2022) put it, minimal computing advocates call for “using only the technologies that are necessary” to achieve a research aim. In this way, minimal computing intends to promote the accessibility of digital scholarship in a wide variety of contexts, counteracting conflation of digital humanities scholarship with expensive software licences, powerful computers or programming expertise (among other concepts). We invite papers that consider these issues as they relate to medieval studies. As the climate crisis worsens, the sustainability of high-performance computing and associated digital research methods have come under scrutiny. Moreover, the difficult funding situation in many countries and institutions poses further problems to the sustainability of digital medieval studies. Expensive equipment, software and computing capacity remains out of reach of many early career, contingent and independent scholars, particularly those without affiliations to well-funded research universities. Minimal computing can be a philosophical choice, but also a choice out of pragmatic necessity. If you would like to participate, please send a 150 word abstract, a short bio (no more than 40 words), institutional affiliation, contact details and preferred pronouns to Eddie Meehan at e.g.meehan@leeds.ac.uk and Jon Dell Isola at 02dellisola@cua.edu. Abstracts are due by 23:59 BST on Wednesday 10th September.
