Scott MacLeod's Research
~ I'm currently
envisioning and developing World
University and School, - see, too, for example, http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects
- a
global, wiki, virtual,
free, open university
& school
(with Creative Commons' licensed so C.C., free,
Bachelor, Ph.D., Law & M.D. degrees planned, as well as an all
instrument in all languages' Music
School), and
much more, potentially
in all 3,000-8,000 languages and 200-ish countries. As
a wiki (editable, web pages) meta-directory, WUaS also focuses on
online, open course ware at great universities (e.g. Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Stanford, other 'Ivy League'
Schools, Oxford,
T.U.M., Sorbonne, L.M.U.,
Juilliard, MIT, Cambridge, Cal Tech, etc.). WUaS is like CC Wikipedia
with best STEM-centric (e.g. CC MIT
OpenCourseWare in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC). Teach with your webcam,
or
interactively in a Google + Hangout group video chat, or in a virtual
world like ScienceSim, Open Simulator or
Second Life, learn, or 'edit this page,' and create, at World
University
& School. Here's World University & School's blog: http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com.

~ I'm also presently writing an ethnography of Harbin Hot Springs, with a virtual world aspect: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com - click on 'Harbin ethnography,' or other Harbin labels.

My
research focuses on ethnography, the virtual, and information
technologies, that is on 'socioculture' vis-à-vis the web, with a
particular focus on counterculture (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com
- I blog daily),
as well as on UNESCO World
Heritage Sites. The detailed, explanatory potential of anthropology
and sociology in relation to the study of the social life of
information technology, and to ethnography vis-à-vis the internet,
as well as to
studies, provides a fascinating intersection of approaches / disciplines / methodologies, and is my starting place. I'm interested, in addition, in questions of anthropology vis-à-vis science. And I'm interested in anthropological, linguistic and philosophical questions about discourse, modernities, representation and language.

I've
taught
"Society and Information Technology" - http://socinfotech.pbworks.com
- on
Berkman (Island) in Second Life (not on Harvard University's faculty) -
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Berkman/165/212/25
- (using SL requires at least one gigabyte of RAM), for about 7
semesters. In the autumn of 2008, I
taught "Society and Information Technology" on Penn State Isle II in
Second Life, as a Penn State University instructor. I've also taught
this course on-the-ground at Chatham University as well as Penn State
university. I teach courses in
anthropology and sociology, both in real life and in 3-D virtual
worlds like Open Simulator and Second Life, which are 'placeless,' yet
facilitate avatar-mediated conversation.

At
the University of Edinburgh (D.R.), where I studied from
2003 - 2004, I conducted a virtual ethnographic study of the UNESCO
World Heritage Site, St. Kilda, the island archipelago 40 miles west of
the outer Hebrides on the west coast of Scotland, which was inhabited
for more than 2,000 years until 1930. In the 2000-2003 school years, I
studied, at the graduate level, at the University of California,
Berkeley, and the University of California, Santa Barbara (M.A.), and I
did graduate studies, again, at U.C. Berkeley in 2008-2009.
~ I also explore questions of how we can elicit the neurophysiology of loving bliss, naturally.

~ In addition, I'm interested in the concept of low-carbon, energy autonomy, and here is a page for this: http://scottmacleod.com/EnergyAutonomy.htm.
~ In the autumns of 1999 & 2005, I traveled on Semester at Sea, and here are some impressions from those voyages: Semester at Sea.
