Function
I study the ontology or process mechanisms of self and identity (and related concepts) as situated in time and context, and I am primarily interested in family and educational contexts. In much of my research I adopt a complex dynamic systems approach, which I apply to theoretical or micro-genetic work. In much of my current research I am inspired by critical psychology, discursive psychology, and philosophical psychology.
