Sociologies of Interaction (2013)
Book
Philburn, R. (2013). Sociologies of Interaction. Cambridge: Polity

Social interaction lies at the heart of our everyday experience. We make our way down the street and avoid crashing into others, take our place in the supermarket queue, take care in the way we talk about others in conversation, acknowledge the socia... Read More about Sociologies of Interaction.

Correlates of red throat coloration in female stickleback and their potential evolutionary significance (2013)
Journal Article
