The figure of the witch (both real and imagined) is inherently political and potentially contentious. Each wave of feminism has reflected on shifting considerations of the witch as evocative of issues around gender, power and, more recently, intersectional aspects of identity. More recent critical engagement with witches and witchcraft reflects a transition, transcending disciplinary boundaries and positioning the witch in line with shifting contemporary debates. This shift moves the witch beyond the symbolic or the individual to consider both the interconnected and disparate nature of the witch. We can, instead, see the witch as a key component in movements of political change, as activist alongside the spiritual expl

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.
