Project Publications

The AHRC Culture and the Mind project's primary output will be three mutli-author volumes based on the three main themes of the project:

1. Folk Psychology & Folk Epistemics
2. Norms & Moral Psychology
3. Artefacts & Material Culture

Preparation for these volumes will begin following planned international conferences on each of these themes in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

In addition to these primary project publications, we anticipate that the project will have a large number of spin-off publications based on the research conducted by project participants based on ideas raised or discussed in the projects workshops, conferences, or other discussion forums. Given the highly exploratory nature of the project, we anticipate that these publications will explore a wide range of issues surrounding the central themes of the project.

Project participants are strongly encouraged to cite the AHRC Culture and the Mind project in the acknowledgements of any publications that arise out of, or benefit from, discussions at project workshops or other project forums.

New project publications will be posted here as they become available.
