Using these three critical dimensions as the meeting place of the chapters in this volume brings them together in their emphasis on the importance and necessity for doing psychology differently, for remaking the psychological subject. Diverse in their desiderata of constructive transformations, varied in their approaches and areas of consideration, the chapters are critical nodes networked through situated knowledges for social change. Page 14 Overview of Chapters In Chapter 1, Edward Sampson thinks through the body to push the boundaries of social construction as we have known it.

Practices are thus mechanisms to be examined critically and ones to be reworked and redeployed towards change and transformation. " Importantly, the authors by their varied perspectives on and uses of practices give full play to their complexities and multiplicities.
