About a year ago, Symbolic Interaction published a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on ‘The Senses in Social Interaction’ that I co-edit with Will Gibson (UCL). Once published, probably in 2021, the Special Issue will explore the senses as interactional phenomena. Symbolic Interaction has recently begun to publish some of the articles on Early View:
