LECI brings together the Faculty’s research and teaching staff and visiting scholars, who are united by an interest in human and community activities, learning and development as part of cultures and their operating systems. Researchers in the LECI research community apply and further develop especially sociocultural approaches and the cultural-historical activity theory. The research conducted in the community utilises theories and methods that transcend discipline boundaries, including anthropology, sociology, media research, philosophy, applied linguistics and cultural studies. The community comprises five Faculty research groups.
