ACTIVITY THEORY AS A FRAMEWORK FOR HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY INTERACTION RESEARCH
Special issue of MIND, CULTURE, AND ACTIVITY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL  
(Taylor and Francis)

Special issue editors: Victor Kaptelinin and Bonnie Nardi

Activity theory, which was originally proposed by Alexey Leontiev as a  
theory in psychology, has developed in the past decades into an  
interdisciplinary approach, employed in various fields of research and  
practice such as education and organizational learning. Since the  
early 1990s, activity theory is also increasingly popular in research  
areas dealing with human-technology interaction, including  
human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design, computer  
supported cooperative learning (CSCW), and technology-enhanced  
learning (TEL).

This special issue aims to present a variety of current uses of  
activity theory in studies of human-technology interaction, with a  
particular focus on the potential and limitations of the theory as a  
conceptual foundation for the research, as well as implications of the  
research for further development of activity theory. We invite high  
quality original publications, ranging from empirical studies of  
technology-mediated activities and practices to comparative analyses  
of activity theory and other theories in HCI and related fields to  
design explorations informed by activity theory.

Deadlines (firm, please)

      May 15, 2016 for submitted papers

      September 1 for reviews

      October 1 for revisions

The special issue will appear in the first issue of Mind, Culture and  
Activity for 2017

Please let us know if you have questions!

Victor and Bonnie
