ABOUT EUSSSI

EUSSSI emerged from an informal network of scholars having an interest in sociological social psychology, especially symbolic interaction, and in the study of related issues through the use of qualitative methods. The first conference of the EU SSSI was held in Pisa in 2010, followed by conferences in  Kassel (2011), Rotterdam (2012), Uppsala (2013), Aalborg (2014), Salford (2015), Topola (2016), Lodz (2017), Reykiavik (2019), and Cardiff (2023) and for the second time in Pisa (2024) which were attended by both European and American sociologists.

Many of the participants were members of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI)– an international professional organization of social scientists with scientific journal (‘Symbolic Interaction’) yearly conferences in conjunction with the meetings of the American Sociological Association, and a number of prestigious yearly awards for scholarly achievements (‘George Herbert Mead Award’, ‘Charles Horton Cooley Book Award’, ‘Helena Lopata Mentor Excellence Award’, ‘Herbert Blumer Award for Best Graduate Student Paper’, ‘The Kathy Charmaz Early-In-Career Award’).
