Mary M. and Kenneth J. Gergen make a strong case for enriching the social sciences through performative work, establishing a framework for performative research and including many of their own performance works.

Distilling decades of work spanning their prestigious careers, Mary M. and Kenneth J. Gergen make a strong case for enriching the social sciences through performative work.
