East Side Institute

an international research, education and training center for human development and community.

"Vygotsky at Work and Play is a qualitative inquiry, a life history of intertwined relationships, projects and communities in which Vygotsky plays a key role. Mostly it is my story of bringing Vygotsky from the scientific laboratory to ordinary people and their communities, and of what I and others have created with him." Lois Holzman from the preface.
