Dear Collegues:Don't forget Tom Boellstorff' contemporary classic Coming of Age in Second LIfe. An Anthropologist Explores the Virtual Human. It is an inspired book with a second chapter dedicated to the History of the Virtual milieu.
Regards.

Dear Polina, Joly, Christian and AoIR colleagues,

I've added an online fascinating Globetrotter video interview (with
transcript) with UC Berkeley professor Manuel Castells -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GBB7U5mv0w - to the open free online
course and syllabus I'm beginning to teach here -
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html .
Next week this course will begin on Saturdays from 11am-1 pm Pacific Time
(California time), in the first hour in Google + group video Hangouts from
here - https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts - and in
the second hour on Harvard's virtual island in Second Life both for
interactivity and conversation (in English and this open online course is
also for people learning English). I've added other talks in video I've
given about this social history of the internet this course and syllabus
web page too.

Thanks to Jessika Tremblay's recent AoIR thread about IT films too. (Hi
Jessika! She was in this course while doing her field work from Indonesia a
few years ago!). I hope to make all media resources/readings for this
course have a central video component too. Manuel's video above is the
first resource. I've also posted many more readings relating to the social
history of the internet in my syllabus above, Joly.

Researchers here are welcome to join this course.

Best,
Scott
