Re: [xmca] Educational neuroscience



Wagner,
Your question about who are the scholars who are exploring neo-Piagetian
approaches at SFU.
Jeremy Carpendale at SFU and Ulrich Müller at the University of Victoria
both wrote articles in "The Cambridge Companion to Piaget." They are
exploring the social mind within neo-Piagetian theory and creating a
dialogue between Vygotsky and Piaget.

The third person who is centrally referenced as guiding Carpendale and
Müller in their neo-Piagetian approaches  is Wittgenstein. They are
attempting to build bridges.

To bring the conversation back to Luria, Andy has uploaded the vimeo
presentation of Mike Cole interviewing Jerome Bruner and Oliver Sacks as
they share memories of the profound impact Luria had on their development.
The interview is fascinating. Jerome Bruner's reflections comparing Piaget
and Luria give an intimate sense of who Luria was as a person. There is a
section where Bruner  shares his memories of how Luria understood Piaget's
project.

These personal reflections of Jerome Bruner and Oliver Sacks and Mike Cole
in dialogue I experienced as a romantic interlude.
Larry
