Jerome Bruner (New York University)
Family Self-Construction: A
Case Study
Tuesday, November 26, 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Prof. Bruner's research on story-telling in families focuses
on the role everyday narrative plays in the formation of a
distinctive family identity and in dealing with crises that
come up in the family's life. In this lecture Prof. Bruner
will present and analyze the way that family story-telling
functions in the on-going co-construction of one family which
Bruner studied in detail.
Jerome Bruner is one of the world's most distinguished psychologists.
He has taught at Harvard and Oxford Universities, and is currently
teaching in the law school at NYU where his interest is in
the role of narrative in the construction and use of law.
Prof. Bruner is the author or editor of over 40 books in cognitive
psychology, developmental psychology, psychology and education
and cultural psychology. He has long been interested in the
relations between psychology and culture, and has been a pioneer
in the field of cultural psychology.
