Dear XMCA-ers,
I'm happy to share news of an upcoming publication of interest
The February, 2006 issue (Volume 16, no. 1) of the journal Theory &
Psychology is devoted to activity theory.
I began working on this special issue over two years ago.
It's been a long haul, including a propos of some conversations here about
language hegemony that I originally had non-native English speaking
authors from 2-3 countries as contributors, but we couldn't make it
work for the journal (which is pretty conservative stylistically).
I do hope some of you will take a look at this issue, which turned out
pretty good. Even better, begin to write for the journal!
Lois
