The International Society for Cultural & Activity Research is an association, whose purpose is the promotion and development of multidisciplinary theoretical and empirical research on societal, cultural and historical dimensions of human practices. ISCAR was formally constituted in June 2002 and aims to achieve increased participation of PhD Students in Society Business in the coming years.

The 1st ISCAR Summer School aims to bring together PhD students from different disciplines from all over the world who have an interest in theoretical and methodological perspectives that were first formulated in the 1920s and 1930s by such researchers as L.S.Vygotsky, A.N.Leontiev, A.R.Luria, M.Bakhtin and S.L.Rubinshtein. A common point of reference that appears in most, if not all, research conducted by ISCAR members is a focus on the study of specific cultural practices and/or the genesis and development of mental processes, where practices and processes are conceptualized as historically and collectively developed, mediated through the use of tools and signs, and constructed through participation in these practices.

Investigations are directed to both individual and/or collective aspects.

In this frame the 1st ISCAR Summer School held by the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education will combine an intensive teaching program with spaces for informal interaction and for exchange of ideas with renown European and Russian cultural-historical scholars and members of the ISCAR Executive Committee. We hope that the next Summer School will be held in another continent thus giving the possibility to PhD students to meet renowned cultural-historical scholars from other continents. A series of issues will be discussed such as: philosophy and epistemology of cultural-historical research, translation and interpretation of original sources, methods and methodology of research, new technologies and research, data analysis and writing of the PhD thesis, politics of funding, international networking, participation and voice of PhD students in ISCAR, preparation of a PhD ISCAR pre-congress for 2011.

The Summer School is addressed to PhD Students who work on the following topics with a multi- cross- and interdisciplinary orientation:

    conditions and contexts for learning in educational institutions and elsewhere
    the design and use of technological tools in relation to work and educational practices
    the conditions and characteristics of work practices and/or their transformation and development
    forms of collectivity, community, and participationcultural diversity and processes of inclusion and exclusion
    identity formation in diverse cultural contexts
    children’s play and transition to schooling
    conditions and contents of schooling and instruction for diverse groups (cultural minorities,  typical physical or psychological development) and various subject-matters
    the role of communication and dialogue in forming meaning in work,
    play, family, and school
    the relationship between self and culture from a historical perspective
    collective memory
    other related topics

The participation is for free and accommodation is paid by the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education.
