Issue editor: Shing-Ling Sarina Chen (University of Northern Iowa, USA)
Studies in Symbolic Interaction, Vol. 63, is devoted to the discussions of identity construction in current social worlds from the symbolic interactionist perspective. Examinations of any form of identity construction in everyday life and in specialized temporal and spatial contexts are welcome. With this focus as the crux of Volume 63, the purpose is twofold: (1) to illustrate how symbolic interactionist theories are helpful in understanding the construction of an identity, and (2) how the construction of an identity serves to advance symbolic interactionist theories in identity construction.
