Social Construction, Relational Theory and Transformative Practices
Come
to
the
potential of social construction and relational practices in your personal and
professional lives
with
Harlene
Anderson, Ph.D. & Sheila McNamee, Ph.D.
.
Harlene
and Sheila invite you to join them in the "Fall in New England"
environment for an intimate collaborative workshop. Bringing their breadth of
experiences together, the workshop will introduce social construction and relational
practices for those new to it and will help those familiar with it to deepen their
understandings and practices. Additionally, focus will be on the practical application
of constructionist ideas in organizations, therapy, education, and community development.
We will focus on constructionist/relational understandings of language and meaning-making,
polyvocality, transformative dialogue, and appreciative and future oriented perspectives.
Participants will learn how social reality is constructed in language and the
implications of this for our understandings, knowledge, and everyday practice.
Participants with a background in social construction will have an opportunity
to explore issues of special relevance to their projects and practices. Taos/Tilburg
Ph.D. students are encouraged to attend as part of their workshop selections,
as are other interested students. Workshop sessions will be complemented by
informal gatherings.
CE Credits available through Houston Galveston Institute.
CE Hours fee: $20.00 (payable by check or cash prior to the workshop)
