Social construction continues to exert significant influence in the social sciences – particularly psychology. As a movement, it has captured the imagination of many in the field perhaps because of its critique of empiricism and its claims of addressing issues of equity and diversity.

Abstract
Social construction continues to exert significant influence in the social sciences – particularly psychology. As a movement, it has captured the imagination of many in the field perhaps because of its critique of empiricism and its claims of addressing issues of equity and diversity. In this paper, we question the status of social construction using Deleuzian conceptualizations. From a Deleuzian perspective, far from being transformative, social construction is successful only if a number of its core assumptions are left unquestioned.File allegato/i alla scheda:
