Gergen’s lecture, “On the Post-Modern Relational Self, Moral Relativisim and Technology,” is part of Wagner’s Academic and Cultural Enrichment series, and the public is invited.

In the article, Gergen argued that the laws and principles of social interaction are highly variable over time, and that the scientific knowledge generated by social psychologists actually influences the phenomena it is meant to passively describe. The article proved highly contentious, garnering large amounts of both criticism and support from various social psychologists.
