The ASA Section on Sociology
of Emotions brings together
social and behavioral scientists
in order to promote the general
development of the study of
emotions through the exchange
of ideas, theory, research,
and teaching. Scholars from
a variety of backgrounds are
members of this section, and
collectively encourage the study
of emotions in everyday social
life. Substantive topics of
investigation include: the expression
and experience of emotions,
emotions in social interaction,
social identity and emotions,
emotions in historical perspective,
the cross-cultural study of
emotions, emotions and violence,
and the traditions of theory
and research in the area of
emotions.
The website for the ASA Section
on Emotions seeks to serve the
needs of section members and
the greater American Sociological
Association community. On these
pages you will find information
about the Section on Emotions,
