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 -- Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities http://humanistika.org
Dear Toma and Anne,
Thanks for these recommendations. I think Sarah Kenderdine, especially, is a great choice.
Other people I would be interested in hearing from are:
* Janelle Riki-Waaka (Digital Equity Coalition Aotearoa) https://www.digitalequity.nz/about-us
* Schuyler Esprit (Create Caribbean Research Institute) https://schuyleresprit.com/esprit/
* Safiya Noble (Algorithms of Oppression) https://safiyaunoble.com
* Claire Fernandez (European Digital Rights, EDRi) https://edri.org/about-us/our-team/
Thanks,
Laura

Dear Laura, thank you very much for your prompt response and your suggestions - I will look into them with more detail. I just wanted to add that I would very much like us to invite speakers who won't need to travel across the planet to deliver their keynote. I know it restricts the pool drastically, but I think it would set a good precedent if we could find thrilling speakers who can reach Graz by train.

All the recommendations look amazing. I´d love to have Žižek and Noble, although both have very different "styles"...
Hopefully the search for KN goes smooth in the following months.

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 Higginshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_Higgins (Bellingcat, use of open web technologies in journalism)
Peter Pomerantsev https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pomerantsev (journalist born in Kiev, good work on disinformation and social media)
Eyal Weizmanhttps://forensic-architecture.org/about/team/member/eyal-weizman (Forensic Architecture, use of 3d modeling and criminal investigations)
Best,
Andy
