<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A fellow CSAA member suggested I send this out to members of the Association. The Identity Research Network is an interdisciplinary research group that brings together work on identity, broadly defined. We run monthly seminars and May’s
seminar is on the theme of ‘virtual identities and gaming’. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope it might be of interest to members and if you are able to send the message out, I’d be most grateful.<o:p></o:p></p>
