The Mind, Culture, and Activity Homepage is an interactive
forum for a community of interdisciplinary scholars who share an
interest in the study of human mind in its cultural and historical
contexts. Our emphasis is research that seeks 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.
Central to the organization of activities in the community is the
Laboratory of Comparative Human
Cognition at the University of California, San Diego. LCHC
publishes the Mind, Culture, and Activity journal (MCA) and sponsors
XMCA, an e-mail discussion group.
This homepage seeks to integrate a variety of activities in the
community into one on-line resource. On this page you will find links
to current and past issues of MCA, on-line discussions from the XMCA
mailing list, personal profiles of our participants, and links to
other related Web sites. We invite all people interested in any
aspect of our activities and research to contribute to a common
dialogue among e-mail discussants, journal subscribers, and
interested researchers.
