Launch of the International Cognition & Culture Institute

The International Cognition & Culture Institute (ICCI) is a new initiative of the LSE Anthropology Department, the LSE Programme in Culture & Cognition (PCC) and the Institut Jean Nicod (ENS, EHESS, CNRS) in Paris. The rationale for this online Institute is twofold: (1) scholars in the emerging cross-disciplinary field of cognition and culture studies are scattered around the world and few (if any) institutions has a sufficient number and variety of them for optimal research and teaching; (2) it is in the very nature of this field to call for international and interdisciplinary collaborations. The website of the International Cognition & Culture Institute has a blog meant to stimulate and a news page meant to inform. In January 2009, a virtual workshop on the use of experimental methods in cross-cultural research will be held online, with a new paper posted every two weeks and left to discussion for a period of one month. This will be the first of many workshops, conferences, and debates that will take place at the Institute. http://www.cognitionandculture.net/
