The present text summarises my third annual intervention as part of New York University Abu Dhabi’s Community-Based Learning (CBL) courses, reflecting on our 2021 research on Abu Dhabi’s performing arts ecosystem and its translation from a qualitative report into an academic book chapter.

This paper reconceptualizes social constructionism about race (hereafter SCR). While SCR is considered a hegemonic view in philosophy and academia more broadly, Hochman (2022) argues that this hegemony is illusory. He identifies different versions of SCR in the literature, showing that race constructionists do not share a single, common view. For him, race constructionists are not even united in rejecting biological race realism, and the label “social constructionism about race” is so inclusive that it has become almost useless. I identify what is missing in Hochman’s analysis, namely, the recognition that SCR is an investigative practice (Brigandt 2012; Brigandt and Love 2012; Neto 2020). This recognition demands shifting focus from what race constructionists claim to what they do. By operating this shift, I explain why SCR remains an alternative to biological race realism in a important and specific sense, and why the label “social constructionism about race” is still useful.
