3414 - Racial Emotion in the Sociological House

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Description

This session will focus on how, all too often, when discussing issues of ethnicity and race within sociology, researchers leave out emotions associated with these variables as a way to be objective in discussing social and sociopolitical issues for society in general. This thematic session will examine how sociologists deal with emotions as part of the sociological enterprise.
