ISCAR | International Society for Cultural-historical Activity Research

Hi

As there is not another Newsletter due for a few months, I am sending some
information below about two events that may be of interest: Nordic-Baltic
ISCAR, and the Activity Theory Summer School

Nick



*Nordic-Baltic ISCAR -14-16 June 2021, Helsinki*

The 9th Nordic-Baltic ISCAR conference will be held in Helsinki, Finland
between 14 and 16 of June 2022. Our conference theme is “Towards inclusive
and just societies: a dialogue with, within and beyond CHAT”. In the spirit
of our theme, we cordially invite scholars to contribute with their topical
research and to join us in discussing what future directions our scholarly
work offers for fostering more inclusive, equal and sustainable communities
and societies globally for all.

Keynote speakers at the event will be Professors Yrjö Engeström and Reijo
Miettinen from the University of Helsinki, Finland and Professor Shirin
Vossoughi from Northwestern University, USA.

The conference will be a hybrid conference with both online and in-person
participation possibilities. I hope you can circulate our conference flyer
(attached) with other academics you might be interested in our conference
and also consider contributing with your own work too.

Please note that this just a ‘Save the Date’ announcement. We will release
the official Call for Papers during June - July this year with a deadline
for submissions between August and October (estimate) You can find more
information on our website (below) and you can follow updates on the
conference via our social media accounts (also below).

On behalf of the organizers, best wishes and appologies for cross-posting
Jake :)

*Activity Theory Summer School- 2021 ONLINE  - FREE OF CHARGE - Week 23-32
(Starts 07 June)*

In the Activity Theory Summer School, PhD students will learn to apply
activity theory to undertake research and conduct formative interventions
in the contexts of organisations and communities. Our instructors, each of
whom have developed considerable expertise in the theory, will lead
participants in exploring both core concepts and emergent views on activity
theory. This will allow participants to access specialist advanced
training, support the establishment of new research networks between
institutions and strengthen existing networks.

During the Summer School the participants will have the opportunity to
present their work and attend lectures, seminars and panel discussions on
the application and use of activity theory for research.

Activity theory is a theoretical and methodological approach for
understanding how people live and work together. Developed in the Soviet
Union based on the works of Vygotsky and Leont´ev, it was taken up in the
West in the 1980s, where it has become important in disciplines and fields
as diverse as cultural psychology, education, human-computer interaction,
information systems, management and organization, and writing studies. In
these fields and others, activity theory anchors interventionist studies in
which researchers and participants come together to analyse and re-design
their work activities.

An intensive Summer School on Activity Theory has been organized in the
Center for Research on Activity, Development and Learning (CRADLE) in the
University of Helsinki on an annual basis for several years. CRADLE is a
hub of academics and practitioners pursuing ground-breaking interventionist
research based on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). Activity
Theory cuts across disciplinary boundaries and focuses on transformations
in collective activity systems, including educational institutions, work
organizations, public-sector agencies, communities and social movements –
and their coalitions.  In June 2019 the Summer School took place in
University West, Trollhättan it attracted students and ECRs from China,
North and South America and Europe (France, the Netherlands, Finland,
Sweden and the UK).
