What is SSSI?The Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI) is an international professional organization of scholars interested in the study of a wide range of social issues with an emphasis on identity, everyday practice, and language. People act toward things based on the meaning those things have for them, and these meanings are derived from social interaction and modified through interpretation. |
