About Herbert Blumer

  • Herbert George Blumer (March 7, 1900 – April 13, 1987) was an American sociologist whose main scholarly interests were symbolic interactionism and methods of social research.
  • Believing that individuals create social reality through collective and individual action, he was an avid interpreter and proponent of George Herbert Mead’s social psychology, which he labelled 'symbolic interactionism'.
  • Blumer elaborated and developed this line of thought in a series of articles, many of which were brought together in the book Symbolic Interactionism.
  • An ongoing theme throughout his work, he argued that the creation of social reality is a continuous process.
  • Blumer was also a vociferous critic of positivistic methodological ideas in sociology.
