Dengan metode-metode yang ketat, Tom mempelajari berbagai dimensi dalam dunia virtual, antara lain isu gender, ras, seks, uang, konflik dan perilaku antisosial, konstruksi tempat dan waktu.

Millions of people around the world today spend portions of their lives in online virtual worlds. Tom Boellstorff conducted more than two years of fieldwork in Second Life, living among and observing its residents in exactly the same way anthropologists traditionally have done to learn about cultures and social groups in the so-called real world. He conducted his research and applied the rigorous methods of anthropology to study many facets of this new frontier of human life, including issues of gender, race, sex, money, conflict and antisocial behavior, the construction of place and time, and the interplay of self and group. Join this event to learn about the ethnography of the virtual world, particularly in Indonesia.
