Institute of Social Psychology lecture
Date: Wednesday 16 May 2007
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Michael Cole
Chair: Dr Sandra Jovchelovitch
From its founding as an academic discipline, psychology has been divided in its understanding of itself. The project to create a psychology that unifies experimental, 'physiological' psychology and ethnographic, cultural-historical psychology requires a reconfiguration of the disciplinary landscape of the late 19th century that, from our current perspective, appears inter-disciplinary, including, as it does, scholarship from anthropology, sociology, discourse analysis as well as the neurosciences and evolutionary biology.
Michael Cole is professor of communication, psychology and comparative human development at the University of California. He is founder of the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition and the Mind, Culture and Activity Journal.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis.
