The Center for Advanced Studies in Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory aims to promote the theoretical and methodological development of the Symbolic Interactionism perspective, as well as the discussion about the use of Qualitative Methods and Constructivist Grounded Theory. For this purpose, the Center has been acting since 2010 through the dissemination of scientific initiatives (conferences, symposia, publications), and the organization of educational moments, including the various editions of the International Summer School on GT and Qualitative Methods, and the advanced training courses: they have attracted many participants coming from all over the world, and the most renowned scholars in the discipline.
The Center collaborates with the EU-SSSI (Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction).
