An Invitation to Social Construction
Co-Creating the Future

Fourth


January 2023 | 312 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
This fully updated fourth edition of Gergen’s An Invitation to Social Construction introduces you to a key theoretical movement in contemporary social science through a wide range of multidisciplinary examples. 

The fourth edition includes: 
  • wider consideration of contemporary global challenges,
  • increased coverage of media, digital culture, and relevant political issues,
  • updated real-world examples of social constructionist theory in action, in research, education, therapy, organizations, and peace building. 
This book brings together complex theories that inform and critically build upon social constructionism, such as narratology, deconstruction, dialogism, positivism, and post-structuralism, in a way that is accessible for students and researchers alike. It is a vital resource for those studying social psychology and critical social psychology who are looking for a comprehensive guide to one of the core topics in the field.

Kenneth J Gergen is Senior Research Professor in Psychology at Swarthmore College, and the President of the Taos Institute.
