Dear all,
it seems that a couple of messages I sent last night did not reach us. I am resending only the second one with a small bit of the first one -- just for the sake of context.
(The first one was a response to Ernesto Priego that can be found on the list archive: http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-February/000230.ht...)
--------------------------------- [...] Since 2010 more than 50% of my research time goes to an Italian ONG that ten years ago helped a group of local people in Southern India to set up a school (http://www.ilmondodelleidee.it/?lang=en). We work together for creating new teaching and learning methodologies, and above all to expand our cultural consciousness. Technology sometimes is important, but is only a very small portion of the entire process (especially in the context where we work). All these experiences, among other things, have changed the way I approach scientific work. I am less and less interested in academic disputes, and more and more in cultural challenges and interdisciplinary dialogues.
I will be in Southern India for a month starting from late February, and I'd be very happy -- if distances would make it possible -- to exchange ideas and experiences with Indian colleagues involved in DH projects. I guess Dhanashree, Gurpreet and others could point me to the right direction?
Thanks!
Domenico p.s. Please feel free to reply off-list if you are interested, or let's set up a sub-group as Daniel suggested!
