This volume presents different conceptual and theoretical
frameworks as well as research methods that have helped educational researchers
to study emotions. It includes innovative approaches that push the
methodological boundaries that have served educational researchers until now
and proposes new ways of researching emotions in educational contexts. In particular,
this edited volume provides a historical frame for studying emotions. It
connects theoretical/epistemological views with choice of  research methods and describes specific
methods helpful in doing research on emotions as they are grounded in different
theoretical and disciplinary traditions such as psychology, philosophy,
sociology, history, political science, cultural studies, and feminist studies.
Finally, it appreciates the contextual and international dimensions of studying
emotions in education and contributes to ongoing debates about the implications
of our methodological choices for understanding emotion in education. This
combination of variety, timeliness, potential for transformation of the field,
and uniqueness make this a very valuable resource to introduce new scholars in
the field alongside established scholars.
