I’m a philosopher and a cognitive scientist. My very first interest was in what thinking is and how it works. Early on, I realised that for understanding this, I needed to investigate how we think and play together .
Now, I investigate the connections between how we interact, how we understand each other, how we understand the world (together), and how all that makes us who we are. Broadly, I study the role of social interaction processes in subjectivity and intersubjectivity .
For doing this, with colleagues, I developed the theory of participatory sense-making (link to video introduction ). This approach investigates how we move together while we interact with one another (including speaking), and how this influences how we understand each other and the world, together.
