  • The Social Geography of Gender-Switching in Virtual
    Information, Communication & Society 2:4 1999 521–540 T H E S O C I A L G E O G R A P H Y O F G E N D E R - S W I T C H I N G I N V I R T U A L E N V I R O N M E N T S O N T H E I N T E R N E T Lynne D. Roberts Curtin University of Technology, Western Australia Malcolm R. Parks University of Washington, USA A b s t r a c t The virtual social worlds of the internet give people unparalleled control over the construction and presentation of their identities. Gender-switching is perhaps the most dramatic example of how people exercise this control. It occurs when people present a gender that is different from their biological sex. While gender-switching gures prominently in academic commentaries and popular writings about on-line social life, there is little systematic research on the phenomenon. On-line surveys of two stratied random samples (N’s = 233 and 202) of MOO users were conducted. The majority of participants (60 per cent) in social MOOs (popular text-based internet social venues) had never engaged in gender-switching, while the majority in role-playing MOOs were either gender-switching currently (40 per cent) or had done so in the past (16.7 per cent). More than half of those who currently gender-switched did so for less than 10 per cent of their time on-line.

  • GENDER SWAPPING on the INTERNET Amy S. Bruckman Presented at the Internet Society, San Fransisco, CA, August 1993
    GENDER SWAPPING ON THE INTERNET Amy S. Bruckman Presented at The Internet Society, San Fransisco, CA, August 1993. ABSTRACT In text-based virtual reality environments on the Internet called MUDs, it is possible to pretend to be the opposite gender. In these virtual worlds, the way gender structures basic human interaction is often noticed and reflected upon. This paper introduces MUDs, and then presents a community discussion about gender issues that MUDs inspired. Gender swapping is one example of ways in which network technology can impact not just work practice but also culture and values. I. GENDER SWAPPING ON THE INTERNET On the television show Saturday Night Live, a series of skits concerned a character named Pat, who has no apparent gender. The audience is tempted with the promise of clues. In one episode, Pat gets his or her hair cut. A sign in the salon says that men's haircuts are $7, and women's haircuts are $9. The audience waits in suspense: when Pat goes to pay, his or her true gender will be revealed. The humor of the series lies in the fact that those hopes are constantly foiled; in this instance, Pat leaves $10 and says to keep the change. Gender is so fundamental to human interactions, that the idea of a person without gender is absurd. The audience thinks that surely some clue must reveal Pat's gender, but none ever does. Many who have never seen Saturday Night Live know about Pat.(2) The character has become a kind of cultural icon. Pat's popularity is revealing.

Smart Avatars in JackMOO Abstract Creation of compelling 3-dimensional, multi-user virtual worlds for education and training applications requires a high degree of realism in the appearance, interaction, and behavior of avatars within the scene. Our goal is to develop and/or adapt existing 3-dimensional technologies to provide training scenarios across the Internet in a form as close as possible to the appearance and interaction expected of live situations with human participants. We have produced a prototype system, JackMOO, which combines Jack, a virtual human system, and LambdaMOO, a multiuser, network-accessible, programmable, interactive server. Jack provides the visual realization of avatars and other objects. LambdaMOO provides the web-accessible communication, programability, and persistent object database. The combined JackMOO allows us to store the richer semantic information necessitated by the scope and range of human actions that an avatar must portray, and to express those actions in the form of imperative sentences.

Most MUDs started out as adventure games but are quickly being adapted for more "serious" endeavors. This paper presents a case study of the experiences of a MUD participant, who, in interviews with the author, explains that MUDs foster creative and technical collaboration, playfulness, the availability of an audience for completed work, and the desire to contribute to the electronic learning community. The author concludes that the success of the MUD as a learning tool for adults points to itspotential as a learning environment for children.

  • Storm's Weekend with Rachael
    1 Appeared in Journal of the Learning Sciences 9(3), 329-372, 2000. Situated Support for Learning: Storm’s Weekend with Rachael by Amy Bruckman Assistant Professor College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0280 Tel: 404-894-9222 Email: [email protected] Submitted: April 22nd, 1998 Revised: January 7th, 2000 2 Situated Support for Learning: Storm’s Weekend with Rachael Abstract While much attention has been paid to the content of support for learning, less attention has been given to its context. This paper introduces the notion of “situated support,” and argues that the identity of the source of support and the connectedness of that support to other elements of the learning environment are of primary importance. MOOSE Crossing is a text-based virtual reality environment (or “MUD”) designed to be a constructionist learning environment for children eight to thirteen years of age. A microanalysis is presented of the situated nature of support for learning on MOOSE Crossing over the course of one weekend where a twelve-year-old girl learned to write simple computer programs. 3 Situated Support for Learning: Storm’s Weekend with Rachael 1. Introduction 1.1 Storm’s Weekend with Rachael One Friday afternoon in April of 1996, I accepted the MOOSE Crossing application of a new member, a twelve-year-old girl who chose the character name Storm1, and then I left town for the weekend. MOOSE Crossing is a text-based virtual world (or “MUD”) designed to be a constructionist learning environment for children (Bruckman 1997, Bruckman 1998). Children on MOOSE Crossing are creating a virtual world out of words, making magical places and creatures that have behaviors.

WWW URL: http://www.usenix.org Collaborative Networked Communication: MUDs as Systems Tools Rémy Evard – Northeastern University ABSTRACT A systems administration group is only as effective as its internal communication mechanisms. On-line communication has traditionally been managed via electronic mail or news, which are neither real-time nor truly collaborative. Communication tools which let multiple parties work together in real-time have become widespread on the Internet in the last several years. In an effort to keep a physically disjoint systems staff working together effectively, we have explored the use of MUDs as communications tools. By allowing many people to interact in an extensible environment, MUDs have solved many of the problems that we had with on-line communication, and provided many unexpected benefits as well. Introduction related projects each term of the school year as part of a volunteer program, and may put in as much Multi User Dungeons, or MUDs, are widely time as the full-time staff (or perhaps more). used on the Internet as interactive role-playing games.

In thinking about who I wished to acknowledge I thought of how I came to this point in my life, who and what I have been influenced by; and who and what helped shaped the success of my project and academic career. While I acknowledge many, I am ultimately responsible for the content herewith. I began college studying fashion marketing. With the emergence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Thailand in the early 1990’s -- a topic featured prominently in the international media at the time because of the large commercial sex tourism industry -- I became interested in the field of public health and wanted to learn more about Thailand and the AIDS epidemic. Thus, I embarked upon undergraduate work as an International Studies/Southeast Asia major at the University of Washington. It was there that I discovered the field of anthropology and its sub-discipline medical anthropology. Without a doubt, my time at the University of Washington shaped my desire to become an anthropologist.
