Dear Toma and Anne,

I agree that it's worth asking Žižek and Kenderdine.

Here are a few others that come to mind within train distance:

Eliot Higgins (Bellingcat, use of open web technologies in journalism)

Peter Pomerantsev (journalist born in Kiev, good work on disinformation and social media)

Eyal Weizman (Forensic Architecture, use of 3d modeling and criminal investigations)

Best,

Andy

Subject: [Pc2023] keynotes

Dear colleagues,

Anne and I just had a meeting with the local organizers and one of the topics that we discussed were the keynotes. We have two suggestions that we would like to share with you:

Slavoj Žižek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_Žižek) and
Sarah Kenderdine (https://sarahkenderdine.info)

There are no guarantees that either one of them will be available, but we'd like to give it a try.

Therefore we would like to ask you to:

let us know if you have any problems with our choices by September 5th; and
add additional names for consideration, also by September 5th.

We'll very much appreciate your additional suggestions and your overall help in this process.

All best,

Toma and Anne
