Thesis Title: Rethinking Remembering: An exploration in cultural and experimental psychology
About
I am a social psychologist with particular interest in cultural psychology. My research on remembering draws heavily on the theoretical and methodological thinking of Bartlett and Vygotsky to investigate remembering as a cultural and constructive process. With Eric Jensen, I am also involved in an empirical research project on children's learning at the London zoo. Some of my other related research interests are: narrative, metaphor, the Self, communication, perception, architecture, and the history and philosophy of psychology.
With Alex Gillespie and Gerard Duveen, I have created the F.C. Bartlett Internet Archive, an open access archive funded by the British Academy. See http://www.ppsis.cam.ac.uk/bartlett/
I am also co-founding editor (with Julian Oldmeadow) of http://www.psychologyandsociety.org/ and am on the editorial boards of Culture and Psychology, Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science, Journal for the Theory of Social Behavior and Frontiers in Quantitative Psychology and Measurement.
My books include "Symbolic Transformation: The mind in movement through culture and society" (Routledge, 2010), "Dialogicality in Focus: Challenges to theory, method and application" (Nova, 2011), "Culture and Social Change: Transforming society through the power of ideas" (InfoAge, 2012) and "Development as a Social Process: Selected Writings of Gerard Duveen" (Routledge, in preparation). I am also currently working on a book titled "Bartlett in Reconstruction: Where culture and mind meet" (Cambridge University Press, under contract).
