In the coming year, I’m going to be going up for a promotion review, and along with all the other attendant <del datetime="2009-08-28T17:38:50+00:00">stress</del> work, I need to develop a list of potential outside reviewers for my case. (I’m replacing “stress” with “work” here in no small part because this review has far lower stakes than the last; if it doesn’t go well, the worst that will happen is that my feelings will be hurt.)
|
||
|
||
Here’s the thing, though: for this particular review, all the outside reviewers have to be full professors. And while there are a fair number of full profs in media studies, broadly construed, most of them are in film studies on the one hand, or have come out of communication on the other — which is to say that either their object or their methods bear very little in common with mine.
|
||
|
||
So I need to develop a list of full professors who are working in digital media studies from a humanities-based critical/theoretical viewpoint, and I’ve decided to attempt to crowd-source this list, not least because I know that there are several folks out there not far behind me who will have need of this list in the not-too-distant future.
|
||
|
||
The more inclusive and extensive the list, the better, I think, so I’m including folks whose work literally grows out of media studies along with those whose work (like mine) has come to media studies from a more traditional humanities discipline. I’ll begin with a few that occur to me right off the bat:
|
||
|
||
Cathy Davidson, Duke University
|
||
N. Katherine Hayles, Duke University
|
||
Henry Jenkins, University of Southern California
|
||
Anne Balsamo, University of Southern California
|
||
Alan Liu, University of California, Santa Barbara
|
||
Anna Everett, University of California, Santa Barbara
|
||
Jeffrey Schnapp, Stanford University
|
||
Neil Fraistat, University of Maryland
|
||
Jerome McGann, University of Virginia
|
||
Johanna Drucker, University of Virginia
|
||
|
||
I know I’m missing some obvious names, and there are probably many less obvious ones as well. Who should be added to this list? Are there other ways to approach such a list that I’m not thinking of?
