The Construction of Human Kinds
Mallon, Ron, Ph.D (Associate Professor & Director of the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology Program, Associate Professor & Director of the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology Program, Washington University, Saint Louis)
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.
