Sorry,
This was sent to a colleague of mine in Maine and went to the list by mistake. Please ignore and sorry for the interruption.

Hi Donna,
Thinking that you might be interested in a little scholarly gymnastics up there in Maine I wanted to send you this link.
http://862capabilityapproach.blogspot.com/
It is a blog I started for a Capability Approach class I started. The students are really sharp and full of energy so it is starting out well. I made it closed but they wanted me to open it up so they could send links to people to view it.
Anyway, if you want to join the discussion let me know and I will send you an invitation.
Michael

In the xmca archive there is much discussion about the differences between
just these two modifiers. Never settled, perhaps never will. From a
linguist standpoint one is active and one is passive.
Helen; from my own experience when I wrote my master's thesis ( A
Vygotskian perspective on Special Education Transition Services) my
supervisor kept asking if I wouldn't be better off making the argument
from an Ericson point of view so I believe mainstream acadamia is still
confused about what cultural-historical theory is; however, I believe I am
safe in saying it is not social constructivism. Has your supervisor
specifically stated where they are finding the descrepancies in your
argument? In my thesis I wanted to use more Valsiner and Van der Veer
references but found they did not coexist very well with the Vygotsky,
Luria, Scribner, and Cole cross cultural studies I was referencing.
Maybe this helps, maybe this muddies the water?

Can I please ask a (probably extremely naive) question? What are the
differences between social constructivism (as referred to in this book
review) and cultural-historical theory? My supervisor keeps telling me I
am confusing my arguments by using references from both paradigms, but I
still haven't managed to grasp what the difference is.
Thanks,
Helen
