Clare LaFrance and Amy Redman


Are you interested in the social construction of everyday life? Have you have ever wondered what parts of our identity are socially constructed? If so, please join Clare LaFrance, MA, a philosophy fan, and Dr. Amy Redman, a Sociologist, for an interactive discussion about socially constructed categories. Using a social-philosophical lens, Clare and Amy will explore topics like, the social construct of demographic categories, and how to approach demographic data collection. Additionally, participants will have an opportunity to engage in this discussion and share their thoughts on how socially constructed identity categories impact debates on equal treatment. No previous philosophical experience required. Come if you can. Come as you are.
