- I was invited to co-edit a special issue of Oxford German Studies, on a topic as-yet undetermined, by my co-editor Frauke Matthes who had in turn been approached by OGS. I suggested a focus on a sole-author, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, as there was at that time no sole or multi-author collection in English or in German dedicated to her influential work. My research contribution was thus present from the start of the conceptual work on the special issue.
My co-editor and I agreed together on contributors: we each made an equal contribution to the intellectual shape and coherance of the special issue contents, and we divided the management of and work on peer review, editing and proofing equally between us. I also sourced the creative writing and translation outputs included, which add to the value of the special issue by making new materials available to the research community, while my co-editor as more experienced academic took on responsibility for correspondence with the OGS editorial board. Our names are listed simply in alphabetical order as co-editors to reflect the equal although slightly different labour undertaken by each of us on the special issue.
My individual research contribution is also present in the introduction, which I first authored (my name is therefore listed first there), as well as in the article I contributed, which allows the journal to break new ground by also giving serious consideration to Özdamar’s theatrical work. The opening and closing pages of the introduction drew on research I conducted on Özdamar in my PhD to frame the special issue, while the article I contributed built on archival research I had conducted as a doctoral student but took the analysis of this research in a new direction.
