Biography
I am John Sutton, Professor of Cognitive Science at Macquarie University, Sydney.
See https://johnsutton.net/ for information, publications, links and more.
I work in the philosophy of mind, cognition, and action, in cognitive psychology, and in the interdisciplinary cognitive humanities. My main research topics are autobiographical and collaborative memory, embodied memory and skilled movement, distributed cognition, and cognitive history.
I try to bring humanities, social sciences, and cognitive sciences together, and to integrate conceptual, ethnographic, and experimental methods. The hope is to be driven by topic not tradition. I am wildly lucky to work with fabulous collaborators and students.
