Submissions are invited for the MIX 2025 conference, Writing with Technologies, taking place on Wednesday 2 July 2025 at Bath Spa University’s Locksbrook Campus.
Now in its eighth iteration, Bath Spa University’s MIX has established itself as an innovative forum for the discussion and exploration of writing and technology, bringing together researchers, writers, technologists and practitioners from around the world to make, think and talk.
As part of our programme, New York Times bestselling writer and publisher Michael Bhaskar, currently working for Microsoft AI and co-author of the book The Coming Wave: AI, Power and the 21st Century’s Greatest Dilemma, will appear in conversation.
Themes for this year's discussions include:
• Issues of trust and truth in digital writing
• The use of generative AI tools by authors, poets and screenwriters
• Debates around AI and ethics for creative practitioners
• Emerging immersive storytelling practices
Interested in joining us?
We are looking for proposals for either 15-minute papers or presentations or 5-minute lightning talks from technologists, artists, writers, and poets as well as academic researchers and independent scholars. We are particularly interested in the work and views of creators, audiences and communities currently underrepresented across writing and technology.
To propose your paper or presentation for MIX 2025, please submit a 300-word summary and a 150-word biography of yourself and any co-presenters via our website.
MIX 2025 will be a boutique version of MIX, with ticket numbers limited to 70, priced £45 full price / £25 students/concessions.
