From the Hartford Courant:
Tom Boellstorff is an anthropologist at the University of California at Irvine and
editor of American Anthropologist. For years, he specialized in the study of gay Indonesians.
That is, until he also began to specialize in the anthropological study of Second

for those avatars and socialize with other avatars.
