We are a community of interdisciplinary scholars who share an interest in the study of human mind in its cultural and historical contexts. We seek to resolve methodological problems associated with the analysis of human and theoretical approaches that place culture and activity at the center of attempts to understand human nature. Our participants come from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, cognitive science, education, linguistics, psychology and sociology.
Welcome! This web site is designed to facilitate interaction, exchange, and communication between the members of our intellectual community. This web site draws on many contemporary web features to provide a space for sharing and exchange lectures and symposia as well as supporting the flexible, intelligent exchange of ideas. We also maintain repositories of papers, high quality video, images, audio, and other media which we share through the web. Finally, our community is peer-maintained and leverages community knowledge-building through the use of tagging, keywords, focused searching, and peer-reviewed voting.
Are you intrigued? Check out a few of the conversations that are going on right now, or perhaps listen in on the symposia we are currently supporting.
