Description
Mind and Social Practice presents work from Sylvia Scribner's career as a pioneer of cultural psychology.
Reviews
"With her cognitive study of work, Sylvia Scribner chartered yet another area for a sociocultural study of human activity. The readers of this volume are invited to continue the exploration using Sylvia Scribner's unfinished 'map'." Contemporary Psychology
"The volume is a wonderful illustration of Scribner's thinking and work over time, and the editors have arranged the volume in such a way as to place Scribner's work in the context of her life, her commitments, and the political and intellectual events of the times. Researchers will find this volume useful, not only because it brings together a number of Scribner's writings but also as a tool for reflecting on their own evolving theorizing and its sociohistorical development. The volume is also valuable for use in graduate courses that examine learning and schooling in cultural and social context and as a coherent example of a researcher interweaving theory and practice and her response to the moral obligations she owned as a researcher."
