Explore the emerging field of cultural psychology in a series of lectures and seminars by visiting Professor Jaan Valsiner.
The lectures have been made possible by a grant by the Leverhulme Trust, which funds outstanding academics to come and lecture at a UK university for a year. It was founded by William Hesketh Lever, the first Viscount Leverhulme, on his death in 1925 to provide scholarships to further research and education in all fields.
The grant has funded Professor Valsiner’s stay at the department of Social and Development Psychology at the University of Cambridge over the last year. An expert in Psychology from Clark University in Massachusetts, Professor Valsiner was originally from Estonia, where he graduated from Tartu University in 1976.
He is greatly respected in the field of psychology for his research on cultural organization of mental and affective processes in human development across the whole life span.
It is this expertise in cultural psychology which he will share in three lectures this week about the history, development and new methods for the field.
The lectures are taking place on 6, 7, 8 June at 4pm at the McCrum Theatre, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
Later this month Professor Valsiner will be giving a series of seminars on ‘The Microgentic Method’ on 27, 29, 30 June. Please contact Dr Gerard Duveen if you wish to attend by email at gmd10@cam.ac.uk, or by phone on 01223 338067.
