Sociology of Emotion. finding faculty/program/school!

[ChiuanJing]

It's not a popular research topics but a new field I guess..

I am quite interested in sociology of emotions and trying hard to find schools. It's a bit related to social psychology but not the same. I am more interested in a sociological perspectives of analyzing "emotions". I wanna research how "emotion" means in the society and how it influence our lives with social meanings, e.g. social norms. I get into this topics from my MA Gender Studies as gender theories discuss "affect".  (however, my BA degree is not relevant at all, it's Business Administration with a minor in Chinese Literature and a certificate of women's and gender studies)(also I earned my MA degree in London and come from other background thus know few about this field in USA..)

So far there are some universities on my list: UC Riverside, U Georgia, UNC Chapel Hill, UCLA, UC Santa Cruz and Emory.

but it is a bit difficult to find some programs/researchers seriously fit this interest. also not easy to find resource in relation to this topic. Could anyone please give me some suggestions? Many many thanks.

Hey ChiuanJing!

I'm a master's student at SLU. You should  check Prof. Scott Harris regarding the sociology of emotions.

Hi pinoysoc!

Thanks so much for the information. Prof. Harris indeed matched my interest and would be a great choice! But I see they do not offer an PhD in sociology there. (can't find PhD in Anthropology as well). Are you going to apply SLU 2017 Fall? Anyway thanks a lot!

Hey!

Im actually a second year student at SLU. I'm finishing my MA next spring. Although they don't have a PhD program, I think SLU is a good stepping stone to see where to go after. It's not a typical step, but may be beneficial for the long run.
