Please visit Second Life TOMORROW evening (Sunday, unless you're in Australia :) for an important talk at Spiff Whitfield's Virtual Pioneer's meeting, tonight, at 5pm SL time (US Pacific). Here's the announcement from the Spiffman, followed by a quote from the website he's sending you for "pre-requisite" work:
We are honored to have Rita J. King (Eureka Dejavu) and Joshua Fouts (Schmilson Nilson), Senior Fellows at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, present their powerful work that involves using Second Life as a platform for educating people about the Islamic faith.
Please join us for this presentation and come prepared to ask questions and express your thoughts for an active dialogue, with these influential educators.
To save you a couple clicks (though I do encourage you to visit the website and learn more, here's an embed of the wonderful video. Note the appearance of my MUVErs partner, padlurowncanoe Dibou, about mid-way through. What a great surprise that was to me! From the website:
On January 29, 2009, Dancing Ink Productions Rita J. King and Joshua S. Fouts released the findings from the Understanding Islam through Virtual Worlds project at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. The project was funded by a grant from the Richard Lounsbery Foundation. The findings included a trilogy of actionable items available in digital format here. By releasing three types of reports — policy recommendations, documentary video and graphic book — we hope to make what is still a very new medium as accessible as possible.
