Dear all,
Now that the conversation has taken us to India, please let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Wendy Phillips-Rodriguez and I am an Associate Professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). My main area of interest (besides DH) is Sanskrit Language and Literature. The last few years I have been working on the application of electronic tools to the textual analysis of the Mahabharata (the largest epic poem of India) and on the advantages that the digital environment can offer for the edition of ancient and medieval texts.
After having compiled the material for a digital edition of one section of the epic (the Dyutaparvan), at the moment I am in the process of finding the best way to publish it. Even though I have the "technical" support from my Institute, they are not very experienced in electronic publications. Thus, Gurpreet´s, Barbara´s and Neil´s discussion about "How to set up a regional/national DH centre/society" (as Dan has accurately named it) would be of my utmost interest.
Best wishes from Mexico, Wendy

Hello Everyone on the List I am Gurpreet Singh from INDIA. Being fairly large country, just to narrow it down, I belong to Punjab in north of India. Currently I am Assistant Professor in CSE at Lovely Professional University, Punjab, INDIA.
Fairly new to the area of DH, I came into contact with DH while studying Corpus Linguistics at Trinity College Dublin. Prior to that I am mainly a DIGITAL person (D of DH) with background in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Computational Linguistics.
My main area of interest is Lexicography for historical and religious texts. Prior to attending DH2012, Hamburg and ESU-C&T, Leipzig and meeting fellow DHumanists there I was thinking there may not be many share my ideas. To my surprise and delight I found quite a few people who were rather interested and appreciated my ideas. Since then I have already received offer for PhD research on my proposal on the same topic.
I am hoping to set up DH Institue in my University and would welcome any suggestion and help about the same. RegardsG. Singh-- https://sites.google.com/site/gursainipreet/

Dear list,
My name is Ųyvind Eide. I work a the Unit for Digital Documentation at the University of Oslo and just finished a PhD in Digital Humanities at King's College London. I am appointed from ALLC: The European Association for Digital Humanities to this SIG.
On reason for my interest in this group is a long time involvement in lexicography in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and also a first nation perspective in my research, where I use historical sources with a strong link to the Sami nation.
I could have written this in Norwegian as well, but we are so anglicised in Scandinavia it is hardly any point...

Dear colleagues,
My name is Elie Dannaoui, Assistant Professor at the University of Balamand
- Lebanon. I would like to thank you for facilitating these types of
communications and reflections. Just few words about my research interests
and activities. Few years ago, it was not easy for us to defend being at
the same time involved in both Humanities and "Sciences". I say "defend" or
maybe "justify" to describe a spontaneous attitude when questioned about
having a multidisciplinary profile like cases similar to mine (doctorates
in History and in Computer sciences). It seems that some implicit
attitudes tend to become more explicit, and what we feel as Digital
Humanists homogeneous has the chance to be seen as it is or at least not
stereotyped and judged a priori as heterogeneous. I fully agree with Claire
when she talks about recovering identities.
Well, regarding my research interests, they are maybe a little bit far
from the interests of the list members, I concentrate mainly on Arabic. My
activities are oriented towards two objectives:
1) Arabic digital publishing mainly of the Arabic heritage. This field
remains neglected and less studied. Huge efforts still to be paid on this
level to follow the efforts of standardisation and scholarly editing.
2) Arabic corpus building and analysis. Currently I work on building a
corpus of the Arabic Gospels translated since the 8th century. New
technologies are being used in this project and many levels of analysis are
being integrated.
I am sure that this community will be very helpful in supporting our
efforts in promoting Digital Humanities in Arabic studies and among
Arabists and Arabic scholars.
Best regards,
Elie
