MARIAL CENTER COLLOQUIUM

Heather Willihnganz and Leah Wingard
(UCLA Sloan Center on Everyday Lives of Families)

Emotion Work in Families

Wednesday, September 29, 4:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.

This talk reviews the divergent ways that researchers have understood the concept of emotion work. The presenters show instances of emotion work in naturally occurring family interaction and suggest that a better overall understanding of the concept may be achieved in this way.

Heather Willihnganz is a graduate student in the Department of Anthropology at UCLA, and a research fellow in the UCLA/Sloan Center on Everyday Lives of Families. She received a Master's in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Leah Wingard is a graduate student in the Department of Applied Linguistics at UCLA, and a research fellow in the UCLA/Sloan Center on Everyday Lives of Families. Her research interests include conversation analysis and family communication.
