Institute for Cultural Research and Education, California
Carl Ratner, Ph.D. is a Vygotskyian scholar who has elucidated and extended Vygotsky’s cultural-historical
psychology in a formulation called Macro Cultural Psychology. Ratner has applied this approach to a range of psychological phenomena. In recent
decades, he has focused upon psychological issues in the political domain. These include neoliberal psychology, identity politics, and notions of cultural-psychological emancipation. A few weeks ago, he
delivered a keynote address to Southwest University, China on “Cultural Psychology As A Guide To Constructing A Global Community.” Dr. Ratner has lived and taught in India, China, Saudi Arabia, and England. Ratner is the recipient of two Fulbright
Fellowships. www.sonic.com/~cr2
