🚨Paper🚨 What is social constructionism about race?
Philosophers of race usually treat constructionism as a theory about what exists. This misses something important: race constructionism is a practice - a way to investigate human activities.

[NEW PAPER] In "Beyond Dichotomies", I challenge the false dichotomy between subjectivity and objectivity in human social relationships. I show how they are both biological and social, using kinship research as an example. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Why was Newton so sure that if you just did his optical experiments you’d *have* to believe him about light? Kirsten Walsh, Tom Roberts and I use 4E cognition to suggest an answer. Anachronism? You be the judge… (also i’m real proud of this paper) www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.... #philsci
