   • 1985 February 2, Janice Irvine, Sue Hyde, “The Discourse and the Action”, in Gay Community News, volume 12, number 28, page 8:

     The importance of this constructivist perspective, as opposed to a theory of sexual essentialism which posits sexuality as biologically determined, is that it allows us to think about sex within a social, historical and cultural context. We can ask questions which recognize the importance of our sexual preference, our class, our race

   • 2001, Bernard E. Harcourt, Illusion of Order:

     Social norm scholarship in criminal law, I would suggest, is best understood as a type of constructivist social theory. The emerging literature attempts to explain behavior by focusing on shared interpretations of social practice.
