We are planning the following
themes for the conference sections:
1.
The methodological meaning of the
“practice” concept in cultural-historical psychology.
2.
The developing education as a
construct in cultural-historical psychology.
3.
The cultural-historical psychology
in family education and consulting.
4.
Modern clinical applications of
cultural-historical psychology.
5.
Art as the development social
practice from the point of cultural-historical approach.
All
of these questions will
also be discussed during the following round tables in the conference:
“Cultural-historical psychologists
training in highest school: experience and problems”.
“Military science and
jurisprudence: what can be done by cultural-historical psychology to develop
these practices?”
Together with the
discussion of practical solutions to social problems there will be a
discussion of the results of psychological investigations and the ways they
are used in practice. Special attention will be given to the professional
training of future cultural-historical psychologists and teachers at
colleges and universities.
We invite everyone
involved in the cultural-historical approach to participate in the
conference…especially those interested in the implementation of
psychological approaches of theory into practice.
Selected
presentations will be published.

*Fees for the
Russian Student Advisor and translation of the sessions. The only language
that will be translated into is English. The price for the Russian Student
Advisor and translation of the sessions is designed for one participant
only. If there are two people wanting one Russian Student Advisor, the price
will be $200.
*More information
will be available in August and September regarding the evening program,
possible workshops, the Roundtable,
tour of Moscow, trip to Sergei Posad, etc.
*Because Moscow is
one of the most expensive cities in the world, we will try to help you with
accommodations. If you apply for a Russian visa at least six weeks before
the conference, the International Office at the Russian State University for
the Humanities will help you with the police registration. If you are
applying for a one-month tourist visa, it is suggested that you work through
a travel agency connected with the Russian system (e.g., WayToRussia, etc.).
You will also need to pay the full price for a Student Advisor for
help. At that point we can try and find a place with a Russian family for a
reasonable price. If we have a group of 4 or 5 participants wanting to stay
together, we hope to be able to rent an apartment very close to the
conference. We also have other opportunities for small groups, who want
privacy, but not the high cost of a hotel, but we will need to know quickly
about these wishes.
*We will be able
to have lunch together at two places very close by: 01 Café (which is a
small, modern cafeteria-style café/restaurant. You will be able to have
fresh, excellent food for a reasonable price). Also, you can have sandwiches
and coffee at the Coffee House XAYЗ.

will be available in August)

“The center has
shifted in the history of science: what was at the periphery became the
center of the circle. One can say about applied psychology what can be said
about philosophy which was rejected by empirical psychology: ‘the stone
which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner (p.
305).” L. S. Vygotsky. The Collected Works of L. S. Vygotsky. Vol. 3:
Problems of the Theory and History of Psychology. 1997.
