Class description
Description. Much has been written recently about the nature and inevitable multiplicities of subjectivity. Many social constructionist theories emphasize the subject as both the creation of societal forces and as subjected. One of the issues that has concerned me is that of where and how we can develop understandings of subject which are constructed, but also have capacities for agency.
