Acting as a follow up to Volume 41 of Studies in Symbolic Interaction (2013), Symbolic Interaction and Inequality explores further the concept of Radical Interactionism, a perspective of researching domination and subordination introduced by scholar Lonnie Athens.


Demonstrating advancements made in Radical Interactionism over the past decade, chapters examine the omnipresent and insidious nature of inequality as well as its social construction among family members, cisgender and gender-diverse people, as well as university students and personnel, particularly college athletes.


Highlighting fruitful accomplishments achieved by a range of symbolic interactionists, this volume exhibits the significance of studying inequality, a venture that not only enriches symbolic interactionism but human life as a whole.

Norman K. Denzin, the longtime editor of Studies of Symbolic Interaction, passed away in August 2023. Regarded as the ‘Father of Qualitative Inquiries’, Prof. Denzin is considered as one of the most important scholars in the 20th and 21st centuries. Other than editing Studies in Symbolic Interaction since its inception in 1978 to the time of his passing, for nearly half of a century, Prof. Denzin authored more than 30 books and countless journal articles, as well as launched and edited major journals and book series. Shing-Ling S. Chen is Professor of Mass Communication in the Department of Communication and Media at the University of Northern Iowa, USA. Trained by Carl J. Couch as a symbolic interactionist, she studies information technologies and social orders, as well as communication processes and social relationships.
