↓ On Social SciencesSince many years now, I have been involved not only in doing social science research but also in reflecting upon the institutional and methodological foundations of the social sciences in general and psychology in particular.

This page brings together some of my writings on these topics as well as links to projects where I’m involved in that somehow deal with processes of transforming the social sciences.

↓ On Positioning Theory

Together with Rom Harré and many others I have been involved in developing positioning theory as a framework to analyse social interaction from a dynamic and social constructionist point of view. This page brings together some of my writings on the development of positioning theory and its applications.

• Books (2)
• Writings (17)

 

↓ On Regions

Governance is no longer an exclusive competence of states. Regions are increasingly important loci of governance as well. Regions exist within, across and above states and pose interesting challenges to social sciences' research.

This website presents an overview of the main academic projects I am involved in, as well as an access to some of my writings.

Three intellectual projects have kept me busy in recent years:

» Contributing to reflections and debates about the place and nature of social sciences knowledge in today’s societies

» Contributing to the development of ‘positioning theory’ as a new framework for studying human interactions

» Contributing to the study of regions as new ways of global and local governance

 

 

Through the buttons on the left of this webpage, the visitor has access for each of these three projects to information about my writings and actions.

The page ‘News' complements this information with  regular updates.

Comments and queries are most welcome and can be mailed to this address
