My research maintains that cognitive performance is often inextricably linked to cultural contexts. Cultural contexts provide systems of meaning that influence how individuals come to understand the world around them, and it is within these contexts that individuals develop approaches to thinking and problem solving. In terms of education, this work suggests that the best performance occurs when the context for learning builds upon the cultural experiences of the learner. |  | Paul Armstrong

My project focuses on how different concepts of victimization developed in different European cultures after World War II and in particular on the creation of the "bad" versus "good" victims as a means of achieving cultural consensus about national identities. I would like to determine what new normative frameworks have evolved within which we can define who is a 'real' victim and who isn't—who deserves restitution and who does not. How have Western nations distinguished between 'deserving' and 'undeserving' victims when several groups now make claims to their own 'holocaust?' How can we learn about the construction of so-called deserving victims from the history of state and popular responses to various groups of victims? |  | Nancy R. Dunbar
