WHAT: “Transgender Experience from Indonesia to Second Life”
WHEN: February 7th, 2008 – 2PM PST/SLT
WHERE: Non-Profit Commons amphitheatre (SLURL)Hi Everyone! The TRC will be hosting an event tomorrow at 2PM PST at the Non-Profit Commons amphitheatre with noted scholar Dr. Tom Boellstorff, Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine, and Editor-in-Chief of American Anthropologist, the flagship journal of the American Anthropological Association.
In this informal talk, Dr. Boellstorff (Tom Bukowski in Second Life) will talk about his anthropological research on transgender experience in two very different locations: Indonesia and Second Life. In Indonesia, Prof. Boellstorff has studied warias (male to female transgenders) for over 15 years. Indonesia is the fourth largest nation (after China, India, and the USA) and home to more Muslims than any other country. Prof. Boellstorff has also studied Second Life culture since 2004, including questions of sexuality and gender. How does transgender experience differ in different cultures worldwide? How does it differ between the actual world and virtual worlds? What commonalities might we see as well? What is the role of family, community, discrimination, and rights in transgender experience?
Hulk probably not make it because bad time for work of Hulk meatself, but Hulk say all friends go to learn because good to learn about others!
Love,
Hulk
