Research Professor of Psychology Senior Research Fellow, School of Law Developmental ResearchI'm interested in the various institutional forms by which culture is passed on -- most particularly in school practices and in legal codes and legal praxis. In both examples, my concern is with how canonical forms create a dialectic with the "possible worlds" of imaginative art forms. My preferred method of work in both instances is the anthropological-interepretive.Carol Feldman and I have a joint lab, which is described on her research page.
