- Reposted by Yasmin Haddad🚨Paper🚨 What is social constructionism about race? Philosophers of race usually treat constructionism as a theory about what exists. This misses something important: race constructionism is a practice - a way to investigate human activities. #philsky #STS link.springer.com/article/10.1...
