Interpretive Lenses in Sociology

Series Editors: Thomas DeGloma, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and Julie B. Wiest, West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This new and exciting series provides a unique forum for scholars from a wide range of interpretive schools to explore approaches to uncovering the deep meanings underlying human actions, events and experiences.

Books in the series will connect advanced approaches to the interpretation of social life, focusing on themes including cultural sociology, the interrelated schools of pragmatism and symbolic interaction, psychoanalytic sociology and more.

Drawing attention to divergences in core assumptions, methods and theoretical vocabularies, the books will establish frameworks for dialogue and build bridges among different traditions to advance the overall aims of sociological interpretation and meaning-centered social analysis.

Written in a clear and accessible manner, each volume will be useful in the classroom as well as for specialists in the field.
