512 - Section on Sociology of Culture Invited Session. Culture and its Intersections

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

Cultural sociology has matured to the point where debates are no longer about whether culture matters, but about how to best conceptualize and measure the ways in which culture does matter. Part of what explains cultural sociology’s richness is its borrowings from other disciplines, such as anthropology, religious studies, neuroscience or economics. This panel explores the next frontier in the field, scrutinizing the most promising intersections.
