The Dialogue section aims to create a forum for scholars, teachers, and activists to engage in a critical dialogue about Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) concepts and their relevance for social transformation in the current global crisis.
We invite authors interested in publishing their work on Cultural Praxis to submit articles, essays, book reviews, teaching and activist resources, and artistic works dealing with issues at the intersection of culture and human experience in order to stimulate opportunities for social change and development.
Cultural Praxis emphasizes work that contributes to humanizing scholarly activity in and across disciplines, and work that strives towards social justice, well-being, and development.
These section is devoted to hosting materials supplementary for articles published in the Mind, Culture and Activity journal (MCA), as well as to linking the latest MCA publications and call for papers.
Cultural Praxis is a community forum co-constructed by contributing scholars and practitioners interested in the intersection between culture and human experience. The Editorial Collective manages Cultural Praxis.
