Scott
G.K. MacLeod is an American academic and Professor of Sociocultural
Anthropology at World University and School. He is currently also the
publisher at the Academic Press at World University and School. MacLeod
was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and grew up on the eastern
seaboard of the U.S., attending Reed College in Portland, Oregon. He
received a Master's Degree in anthropology from the University of
California, Santa Barbara, and a Diploma of Research from the
University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on the information technology network society age,
the world wide web cosmos, and actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs. He is World University and
School's founder, president, CEO and presiding clerk (in the manner of
Friends/Quakers). Wiki World University and School is best STEM CC-4
OCW-centric (in 4 languages) and CC Yale OYC-centric and seeks to
develop major universities in all ~200 countries' main and official
languages, as well as wiki schools in all 7,117 kn0wn living languages; WUaS
plans to offer online CC-4 OCW Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B.
high school degrees, partly in group video, and in ~200 countries' official languages. He is the author of Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality and Virtual Harbin (San Francisco and Berkeley: Academic Press at World University and School 2016), Haiku~ish and Other Loving Hippy Harbin Poetry (Stanford, CA: Poetry Press at World University and School 2017), Winding Road Rainbow:
Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss (Stanford, CA: Poetry Press at World University and School 2018), and To the Dance or the Pools: How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual Reality (Stanford, CA: Poetry Press at World University and School 2019).

Scott MacLeod's Research:
World
University and School
Free,
best STEM-centric C.C. OCW university degrees planned ~
in ALL ~200 countries' main and offical languages!
*
~ I'm currently
envisioning and developing World
University and School (worlduniversityandschool.org), planned in all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - each a wiki school for open teaching and learning. And see, too, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - (and where you can wiki-begin or develop a "Subject" in any language) - a
global, wiki, virtual,
free, open university
& school
(with Creative Commons' licensing 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, Cambridge, Cal Tech, etc.). WUaS is like CC Wikipedia
with best STEM-centric (e.g. best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare in 5 languages and CC Yale OYC). Teach with your webcam,
or
interactively in a Google + Hangout group video chat, or in a virtual
world like Google Streetview with time slider/Maps/Earth, 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.

Planned for all 3,000-8,000 languages
(Wikipedia is in ~300 languages, by way of comparison, again), and with
an universal translator
(building on Google Translate +),
World
University & School is for the emerging world (e.g. One Laptop per
Child countries), and everyone, - again, with free Bachelor, Ph.D., Law
and M.D. degrees planned, and as wiki.

Further research and teaching notes:
~ He's written an ethnography of Harbin Hot
Springs, with a virtual world aspect, with 3 1/2 draft chapters here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com
- click on 'Harbin Book Section,' 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.

Bliss (eliciting this neurophysiology)

~ In
the autumns of 1999 & 2005, I traveled on Semester at Sea, and here
are some impressions from those voyages: Semester at Sea.

~ Taught the open, free, online course in G-Hangout on the Information Age on Tuesdays in the autumn of 2017 at 9am Pacific Time
~ Society, Information Technology & the Global University ~
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html ~
which will be good for English-learning as well! This course asks: What
is information technology, broadly conceived? How did it develop? ~ https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/896470596040654849 ~ and will teach this again soon.
~ I
enjoy writing poetry, and here are some haiku-ish. Click on the
'poetry' label on my blog {http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry} to read or
