Kristine Lund’s research is driven by her interest in diverse perspectives on collaboration and learning for individuals, groups, and communities. She holds degrees in Computer Science (BA), Artificial Intelligence (MS), Cognitive Science (PhD), and Education (HDR). She has studied argumentation and explanation as mechanisms for learning and decision-making and is specifically interested in understanding how linguistic, cognitive, interactional, social, and emotional aspects of human interaction are intertwined. Observing how an object of interest changes nature, depending on the vantage point from which it is studied led her to facilitate theoretical and methodological integration of team research on human interaction. Her work on communities focuses on collaboration in science and the interdisciplinarity of research on education. She now directs the French laboratory of excellence ASLAN – Advanced Studies on Language Complexity https://aslan.universite-lyon.fr/.
