Research interests
Over the last few months, I've subscribed to several e-mail alerts by various publishing companies in order to follow new publications in areas of research I'm interested in. Yesterday, I subscribed to Blackwell's e-mail alerts and they allowed a very fine grained selection of topics. This gave me a good overview of what areas I'm actually interested in. I had to choose between book and journal alerts. I figured I'd subscribe to journals even if I only had a vague interest in the area, but for books I was more selective.
The following list shows my book selections, and can be seen as my core areas of interest:
- Language and linguistics
- Philosophy of Language
- Anthropology
- Introductions to Anthropology
- Human Evolution
- Psychology
- Brain & Behavior
- Cognitive Neuropsychology
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Cognitive Science
- Evolutionary Psychology
- Psychopharmacology
- Cognitive Psychology
- Consciousness
- Psychology of Language
- Animal Behavior
- Behavior Genetics
- Autism and Aspergers Syndrome
- History of Psychology
- Genetics and Evolution
- Introductions to Genetics & Evolution
- Human Genetics
- Evolutionary Biology
- Human Evolution
- Evolution and Development
The full list of journal areas I chose is pretty crazy and I'll probably understand less than half of those areas (or have time to actually read the papers). However, I intend to learn more about these areas in the next months so I might just as well start following those publications now.
