advice regarding construals

[Diane Westerhuis]

I am a (sociology, not linguistics) PhD student, and would
appreciate the advice of the list members, regarding critique
of my work on neoliberalism and reconstructions of
universities - the critique is a

'failure to distinguish construal and construction. There are
as many construals as there are subjects construing  but not
all construals become the basis for the institutionalization
and consolidation of particular educational regimes'.

I understand that construals are an interpretation of the
meaning of something, can anyone please advise how i
distinguish between construal and construction?
thanks for your time,
diane
