Through our Executive members Michalis Kontopodis and Kevin O’Connor, and the web team in Russia at the Moscow State University of Education and Psychology, we hope to provide you with a seamless system for supporting your regional ISCAR activities. Like with any new system, there may be some small ‘bugs’ that may arise. We seek your cooperation by informing us of any technical problems you notice as you navigate your way around the website.
Submissions in all languages are welcome. News items, conference reports, announcements, calls for papers, short abstracts of recently completed Ph.D. theses etc. should be submitted to: news@iscar.org
A central component of ISCAR is the regional activities for furthering cultural-historical theory, activity theory and sociocultural theory. In order to continue to facilitate the tradition we invite you to create a link on your own home or institutional pages to this new ISCAR site: www.iscar.org or http://en.new.myiscar.org/About_ISCAR
Please also distribute this information to interested students, colleagues, and email-lists.
The ISCAR Executive hopes that the new website will be a useful tool to you for furthering your own regional and local activities, and as a valuable source of current and archival information about ISCAR as an organization.
