Dear all,
Could I ask the participants of this list for some help?
As reader of mainly Northern European languages I have an overview of some of the DH world, but not all of it. I lack an oversight over what is published in other languages than English, German and the Scandinavian ones. Because of this I also lack knowledge of people publishing (mainly or exclusively) in languages such as Spanish, French, Cantonese, Japanese, and all the others.
Thus, I would like to ask you all for names of people who would be able to give a broad overview over the field of DH seen from another perspective than Western Europe or North America. Self posing is accepted of course.
In Norway, journalists have been given lists of female researchers organised by topic in order to avoid that the journalists always call the ones they already know, who used to be males mostly. Maybe we could think of something similar? A list of a number of DH topics and possible candidates to talk or write about it, covering as globally as possible? There are significant problems to be foreseen of course and it could lead to nasty situation -- but is it still doable?
Thanks,
Øyvind
