Identity is a rather loose concept that has various degrees of currency in a number of different disciplines. For example, there is little consensus in the field of psychology about the phenomena to which the term “identity” might refer. As a result, not only have different definitions of identity led to the development of different schools within psychology, each with its own theoretical and empirical traditions, but scholars appear to know little about, or prefer to ignore, what is happening beyond the boundaries of their own school. The situation within sociology is not quite the same. Considerable theoretical and methodological developments of the concept of identity have occurred primarily in the sociological tradition of symbolic interactionism, in both the Chicago and Iowa schools, and the notion of identity has also had some limited currency in the sociological traditions of structural functionalism, critical theory, interpretive sociology, and the sociology of knowledge
