Sociology of Emotions Research Network
The Research Network has its own website at: http://socioemotrn.sytes.net/The sociology of emotions is a new and vital field within the broad discipline of sociology that has a lineage encompassing the classical tradition as well as more recent sociological research and scholarship. Research on emotions contributes to political sociology, medical sociology, sociology of social movements, sociology of gender, economic sociology, cultural sociology, sociological theory, social psychology and other specialisms within sociology. The Sociology of Emotions Research Network brings together researchers with an interest in emotions who share a range of substantive research themes and draw upon diverse methodologies.
The RN’s first mid-term Conference was held in Augsburg, Germany in October 2004.
