The Cultural Historical Research Special Interest Group (SIG #30) of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) is a diverse group of researchers who approach learning, development and social change from a cultural historical, socio-cultural and/or activity theoretic perspective. Common themes of research and conversation draw on Vygotsky, Luria, Leont’ev, Bakhtin, Mead (among others).

Drawing on these perspectives, members also engage with frameworks that are inclusive of, but not limited to critical, feminist, digital studies, and arts-based approaches to explore sociocultural, educational, pedagogical, and sociopolitical questions at the intersection of theory and practice.
