Overview of the New Edition

This new edition of the very successful handbook documents the incredible theoretical, empirical, and methodological progress within neurosociology since its previous publication in 2013. Led by the next generation of leading neurosociologists Will Kalkhoff, Rengin Firat, and Joseph Dippong, it adds nearly two dozen new chapters.

Contributions and Significance

The handbook adds to the critical contribution of the first edition in certifying the unique role of neurosociology and highlighting emerging contributions within the larger sphere of interdisciplinary work combining neural and social perspectives. The chapters in this edition overview cutting-edge methodologies and advance neurosociological perspectives on a broad range of foundational and substantive topics, from the neural underpinnings of identity and interaction to neurosociological models of racial and other enduring inequalities.

Audience and Impact

An impressive collection of established and emerging scholars has contributed to this edition, which provides an up-to-date and accessible overview of the field for researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
