We are pleased to announce the fifth London Text Analysis Conference, which will be held at the School of Creative Management, Goldsmiths, University of London on 10 – 11 September 2026.
This year’s conference theme is Generative AI in Management, Education and Research. As Generative AI continues to reshape industries and academic disciplines, its application and implications in the field of management present a rich ground for scholarly inquiry and pedagogical innovation. LTAC 2026 aims to bring together researchers, educators, and practitioners to explore and discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities presented by these rapidly evolving technologies for questions related to management, research and education.
Our long-term goal is to develop a thriving community of researchers interested in digital text analysis and generative AI in social science research.
Abstract submission
Abstract submission
Researchers interested in presenting at the London Text Analysis Conference are encouraged to prepare an extended abstract (up to 1000 words) that summarizes the purpose, methods, results, and contributions of the study.
We welcome the following types of submissions:
- Generative AI for research. Studies that use Generative AI methods to explore social science questions or methods papers on the use of Generative AI in research.
- The use of generative AI in practice. Studies that research the use of Generative AI in management, business, work and public policy
- Generative AI in higher education. Studies that explore the consequences of generative AI for teaching & learning in higher education. We welcome both empirical contributions and think-pieces.
- Teaching showcase. Practical demonstrations on the use of generative AI in higher education teaching and learning.
- Text analysis methods. Studies using classic text analysis methods (e.g., topic modeling, sentiment analysis) for social science research.
The conference will also offer researchers an opportunity to discuss and get advice on their early-stage ideas in the form of blitz presentations and round-table discussions.
Please submit your research abstracts/idea pitches/teaching showcases using the submission link. The submission file should contain authors’ names, affiliations and presenting author email address.
This is a non-archival conference. Submitted abstracts will not be publicly posted online but could be made available to conference participants.
Please contact Ivan Zupic (i.zupic@gold.ac.uk) for questions regarding the conference.
