Hi Alexa,

Thanks for sharing so eloquently and beautifully just now in your Stanford Anthropology dissertation defense - http://events.stanford.edu/events/731/73101/ - about

  - How does opening a mass grave bring closure?
  - Why has forensic exhumation so quickly gained force as a humanitarian intervention?
  - What can exhumation tell us about relationships of care between the living and the dead?

I was impressed by your presence as you shared your thinking, and was also wondering how such a focus as yours has felt emotionally as your ethnographic studies and writings in these fields unfolded. (The "foredoomance" word from John Money came to my mind a number of times in your talk - and when I asked a question about John Money's thinking - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html and http://scottmacleod.com/anthropology/determinism.htm - a few years ago in the Stanford Anthropology department to a presenter and Anthropological researcher from Columbia University, she replied for about 15-20 minutes about John Money's thinking, very fascinatingly and eruditely :).

I have an ongoing anthropological focus on addressing such questions in terms of the actual and virtual (an approach I took in my recent actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook and https://twitter.com/HarbinBook). My question, put simply, is how would such questions that you shared in your poetics' analysis emerge newly in a realistic virtual earth (think Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER married with OpenSim/SL for group build-ability, but realistic, with AVATAR BOTS, both realistic and fantastic/imaginary/creative (and at the cell, atomic and subatomic levels too) - and in all 7,099 living languages for STEM research, as a classroom, as an ethnographic field site - eg. Harbin - and as a site for "closure" re your questions even)?

Heather Paxson, the MIT Professor of Anthropology, who has a Ph.D. from Stanford Anthropology (like yourself soon it would seem:) continues to post this article to Twitter - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/insider/hurricanes-protest-movements-food-news-events.html?smid=tw-share - which I just posted here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch. Do you know her? (And have you been to Harbin as well, by any chance?)

Would you like to meet for a coffee in CoHo or for something to eat at some point so I could learn further about your thinking in some of these regards?

Thank you again for your wonderful Stanford dissertation defense, Alexa.

Best regards,
Scott

congratulations, Alexa!

(should possibly re-read this before I email you, but I send it nevertheless now:)

Warm regards, Scott

Dear Patricia, 

Very nice to meet you and thanks for your excellent presentation at  - http://events.stanford.edu/events/722/72209/. 

And thanks for the information about Cosmo Sim - https://www.cosmosim.org/ - and the Stanford faculty/researchers focusing on simulations especially.

Would love to go back to the 1960s and 1970s in a realistic virtual earth with TIME SLIDER with avatars, after converting film/video into 3D virtual worlds for interactivity and talk and hanging out with folks there then (think interacting with Plimoth Plantations historical actors in Massachusetts from the 1620s - https://www.plimoth.org and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimoth_Plantation - for example, but these potential avatar hippies would be further code-able, as avatar bots, and thus could potential become even hippie philosophical conversant, or scientists doing research too).

World University and School, which is like Wikipedia in 358 languages with CC MIT OCW in 7 languages (ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/), would be very interested in eventually hiring graduate student physics' instructors learning to become faculty, and seeking teaching experience. 

Looking forward to staying in touch. 

Best regards, 
Scott
