Excellent, so many authors and public intellectuals - people who I value - misunderstand and misrepresent social constructionism. Sheila takes time to discuss how systems construct meanings that establish patterns. It really is that simple yet chomsky, pinker, dawkins, and so many otherwise thoughtful people seem to ignorantly pervade the myths of social constructionism. I say "myths" because I have never read a postmodern writer, a derrida, a foucault, a Bakhtin or whoever, that claims reality is literally made from language. Great, inspiring talk.
