My Take

Arlie Russell Hochschild is one of those thinkers whose ideas quietly seep into everyday language. She gave us "the second shift" and "emotional labor" through The Managed Heart, and I appreciate how she took something invisible, the work of managing your own feelings on the job, and made it impossible to unsee. A Berkeley sociologist focused on the emotions beneath our moral and social lives, she's collected honors from a Guggenheim to the 2024 Helmholtz Medal. What I admire most is the longevity: she's still being recognized in her eighties, proof that careful, humane observation ages better than any trend.

Overview

Arlie Russell Hochschild (; born January 15, 1940) is an American professor emerita of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley and writer. Hochschild has long focused on the human emotions that underlie moral beliefs, practices, and social life generally.
