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,
