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
