Unique in its approach, An Invitation to the Sociology of Emotions treats neophytes as its primary audience, giving students a brief, but thorough, introduction to the sociology of emotions. Including research examples, exercises, and lists of further reading, this text explains as clearly as possible some of the most interesting theoretical concepts that animate sociological research on emotions. In this new edition, the author updates the volume with recent research on emotion management, emotional labor, and emotions in social media.
