The Journal


Symbolic Interaction

Published on behalf of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction, Symbolic Interaction presents work inspired by the interactionist perspective on society, social organization, and social life.

We publish research that develops interactionist theories, generates new methodological directions and ideas, and studies substantive topics from the interactionist perspective. Symbolic Interaction welcomes contributions from all scholars working, empirically or theoretically, within the broad tradition of social science inspired by American pragmatism and its European counterparts, as well as those wishing to engage in debates with that tradition.
