Abstract

This book reveals what social constructionism has achieved and can offer various fields of inquiry, both academic, professional and applied, across the social sciences and humanities. It looks closely at recent developments and the potentials and limitations of social constructionist challenges to modernist conceptions, values and practices. The central idea of the book is that social constructionism chiefly serves as a conceptual, ideological, and practical tool.
