Introduction: Social Constructionism and its Critics

University of Calgary, stam{at}ucalgary.ca

The articles in this issue signify the maturation of social constructionism. After introducing the articles, I raise two questions that have remained under-represented on these pages. First, the historicization of constructionism has been avoided by constructionists and critics alike; and, second, the epistemological concerns have been dominated by realist-anti-realist debates. I conclude by inviting further responses on these questions for a future issue of the journal.

Key Words: epistemology • realism-anti-realism • social constructionism
