Digital Humanities and Theatre Research | Miguel Escobar Varela
I am a web developer, translator and theatre researcher who has lived in Mexico, The Netherlands, Singapore and Indonesia. I work as Assistant Professor of Theatre Studies at the National University of Singapore and Academic Advisor on Digital Scholarship at the NUS Libraries. I also convene Digital Humanities Singapore. My main research interests are Indonesian theatre and the digital/computational humanities.
We are those six students (we know there are only five photos, we promise there are six of us!) and this is our little space on the Internet dedicated to curating Indian children’s literature. We’ve lived and breathed children’s literature for the past two months; all of this enthusiasm has been exhibited on this blog. Whether it’s a database of close to a thousand children’s books from India (yes, really), articles discussing trends in Indian children’s literature or academic papers questioning the discipline itself, we have something for everyone! We do hope that this site will be helpful to anyone and everyone interested in children’s literature in India, thank you so much for stopping by!
