New academic talk genre: Google alerts says someone will be “introducing” my work in my words (to an audience that would already know). Not plagiarism, just name checking and describing me. What on earth? 😳

It’s not a course lecture but an invited talk by an external guest at higher rank than mine, who has had a longer career. In a series where everyone else is sharing their original research. And the guest apparently is just sharing mine instead. 🤷🏽♀️
You know my dream had been
to have a series where you take two DH-ers who really disagree and possibly hate each other and put them on to talk together. DH Death Match.
This could be really helpful tho! Like when you make students reverse-outline each other's papers; invariably some are like NO that is NOT what i meant to say
I really think it’s just that the person wants to have things to say in the corner of digital humanities I inhabit but doesn’t actually have their own thing to say. Which is a shame because it could be very useful.
I saw a very senior figure once invited to give a talk on the future of C18th studies, and he spent his half hour talking about the work of four/five ECRs whose work he found exciting. Which I adored. But it sounds like this is ... not that.
It is not. This is one of those DH situations where one can be at a lower rank and have been an academic for a shorter amount of time but is more “senior” in the field.
