A word about my current research



Virtually Sacred: Myth and Meaning in Second Life and World of Warcraft

 My latest book analyzes the role of religion in online gaming. This includes studies of World of Warcraft and of Second Life. It's in contract with Oxford University Press and will be published relatively soon. 

The next book

I'm going to write a book based upon my five month's research in India, engaging the cultural context of convergence technologies in Bangalore. I also have some thoughts about other books, one of which is even underway.


Virtually Meaningful: The Power and Presence of Meaning in Virtual Worlds

This is a National Science Foundation supported research project that I am undertaking with three undergraduate students at Manhattan College. Details can be found here.
