Thank you for your comment! It’s actually a topic of quite a lot of discussion for us, so I would love to connect on it. I’ll send you a DM soon.
Just for context, the main reason I’ve felt a little constrained to the US/UK context is due to comparative advantage considerations, such as having staff who are primarily based in those countries/speaking English as our organizational common tongue/being most familiar with those academic communities, etc.
I definitely think the WAW community, in general, should be investing much more outside of just US/UK/EU—but am less sure whether it makes sense for WAI to do so, given our existing investments/strengths. But I could be convinced otherwise!
Even if we keep our main focus in the US/UK, I’d be very interested in hearing more about how WAI might be able to support the “people hungry to build the field” in other countries, so that could be another thing to discuss.
