Join us for a monthly reading and discussion group aimed at graduate students and early career researchers on Cultural-Historical Activity Theory. The group is open to questions and multiple theoretical perspectives from the group, and we draw on the members of Cultural Praxis to help guide the discussion.

We have started a series of discussions as an introduction to cultural-historical activity theory, using pre-reading from Cole’s book Cultural Psychology: A Once and Future Discipline. During this series, we will discuss CHAT’s relationship to the social sciences, Cole’s theoretical framework for understanding the role of culture in learning and activity, and examples from his research.
