1114 - Hidden Vulnerabilities: Ethnography, Emotions, and Inner City Men

Sat, August 11, 8:30 to 10:10am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, 108A

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Description

In this session we seek to move beyond the simple ideology that’s been proposed as part of the ‘cool pose’ thesis. Instead, our panel of urban ethnographers will consider some of the emotions, vulnerabilities, and other feelings experienced and shared among their participants that were not always obvious. Although ethnographies are often overlooked as studies in the sociology of emotions, these efforts show us that the men involved were indeed emotional. Our panel will share some of their insight on the vulnerabilities hidden among inner city men.
