Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

The twentieth anniversary of Culture & Psychology offers an occasion for us to reflect on the development of ideas within the journal and the discipline of cultural psychology at large, as part of a look towards their future. In other words, we aimed in this special issue to create a ‘prospective retrospective’. This introduction to the special issue has two objectives: first, it describes the results of a survey distributed among the cultural psychology community about how they understand the discipline, its fundamental sources and questions that it should address for its future. Second, it provides a preview of the different contributions to the special issue, which themselves highlight key articles in the journal’s history and how ideas found in them can be further developed for the future of cultural psychology today. Thus, it was our intention to promote the integration of ideas through time, an ethos that Culture & Psychology has advocated since its founding 20 years ago.
