MIND, CULTURE and ACTIVITY: An International Journal
MCA is a multi-disciplinary publication serving an international readership of anthropologists, educators, linguists, psychologists, sociologists, public policy makers and others.
MCA supports the development of cultural historical activity approaches to the study of mind through the publication of peer reviewed work from many disciplines and cultural contexts.
MCA is edited by Michael Cole, Yrjo Engestrom, and Susan Leigh Star. The editorial board is composed of prominent scholars from numerous disciplines from around the globe.
MCA accepts four types of submissions. The first category includes articles of general theoretical or empirical importance. The second category is symposia, which are built around a central article. Commentaries on the article are invited from scholars from different intellectual traditions and cultural contexts. The third category contains less formal communications or renderings in alternative genres. These may include work-in-progress reports, summaries of e-mail discussions, poetry, etc. The fourth type includes book reviews and shorter book notes.
