Sally Haslanger's work on social constructs

Sally Haslanger is a philosopher known for her work on social constructs, specifically how concepts like gender and race are shaped by societal structures rather than just biology or individual choice. She argues that these categories are not natural but are created through social practices and beliefs that influence behavior and identity. Haslanger emphasizes the importance of understanding these constructs to address social inequalities, urging us to challenge and change the underlying structures that sustain them. Her work invites us to see the potential for change in our social world by critically examining how we categorize and treat each other.
