From a Boston Massachusetts girl to a contemporary sociologist, author of over 10 books, professor at the University of California-Berkley, a wife, and a mother, I'd say the past 82 years have been an emotional roller coaster. #emotionallabor #soc308 #socialtheory 1/10

POV: You grow up in the 50s with a traveling diplomat father and a committed stay-at-home mother who did an amazing job at taking care of her family, but who also never seemed truly happy. That's why I chose to study #emotions and #gender in sociology. #soc308 #socialthoery 2/10

My contemporary theory of #emotionallabor examines emotion regulation in the workplace at a micro-level since the main focus is individual human interaction. Make sure to think of me next time you receive #servicewithasmile 😉. #soc308 #socialtheory 4/10

What am I best known for? People call me the founder of the branch of sociology known as emotional sociology because of the concept I created called #emotionallabor. It refers to managing emotions to conform to the work role you have. 6/10 #soc308 #socialtheory
