Hi Mary!

So nice to see your voice. Could you elaborate on the idea that
socio-cultural theory
(who fits there?) and "situated cognition are separated but related
trajectoriies". Who do you
count as the ancestors of the two related but separate trajectories? How are
they related?
I find this whole area of interest very difficult to parse.
