Ken Plummer on Labelling, Stigma, and Symbolic Interactionism
Abstract
Ken Plummer entered the academic world at a febrile and creative time. He embraced symbolic interactionism and its adjunct, labelling theory, and adhered to them to the last, although he modified both as he played a pioneering role in his exploration of the place of storytelling in the construction of sexual identity through time.
