Mind, Culture, and Activity (MCA) is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed articles that examine the relationships between the human mind, the sociocultural environments they inhabit, and the way that mind and culture are constituted in a wide variety of human activities. We seek to promote dialogue among different schools of thought about these relationships, and encourage both interdisciplinary and international contributions. Particular emphasis is placed upon empirical research grounded in theoretical approaches that locate culture and activity at the center of attempts to understand human experience and research that attends to the methodological problems associated with the analysis of human action in everyday activities. When empirical results are part of a submission, the journal typically publishes research that is primarily qualitative. Submissions are to be grounded in social theory, in particular Cultural-historical Activity Theory, although other theoretical approaches are welcome if they are interesting to the readership. We consider several types of articles: substantial contributions that present theoretical research or syntheses of theoretical and empirical research devoted to a significant topic (up to 8,000 words); commentaries responding to articles published in MCA (up to 2,500 words); and creative works (up to 2,500 words). We also include book reviews commissioned by the Editors (up to 2,000 words), and shorter book notes. Please keep in mind when you are preparing a manuscript that our readership includes anthropologists, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, linguists, educators, and interdisciplinary scholars. Please avoid jargon that is familiar only to researchers in one field. All submissions will be blind reviewed. To facilitate reviewing, a separate cover page with the author's name, affiliation, electronic mail address, and telephone number must accompany each manuscript. This information should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript.
