Offering an accessible and intriguing look at emotions in society, Sociology Through Emotions collects together contemporary qualitative research that illuminates many of sociology’s central concepts and topics, from culture, socialization, and inequality to family, crime, healthcare, religion, and social movements.

This book appeals to instructors who want to highlight the social factors that shape emotions as well as the impact of emotions on social life. It is an attractive supplement for courses on introduction to sociology, self and society, social psychology, and others focused on interaction, culture, and meaning making.
