The Construction of Human Kinds
Oxford: Oxford University Press UK (2016)
Abstract
Ron Mallon explores how thinking and talking about kinds of person can bring those kinds into being. He considers what normative implications this social constructionism has for our understanding of our practices of representing human kinds, like race, gender, and sexual orientation, and for our own agency.Author's Profile
