Dr. Hochschild's Accomplishments

Dr. Hochschild is a woman of many talents; at least that is what I gather from her many awards, publications and honors she has received. She has three Honorary Doctor of Philosophy degrees, from three different colleges, one in Denmark and another in Norway. Hochschild is also the recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Award at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Social Sciences department. “Such teaching rises above good teaching: it incites intellectual curiosity in students, engages them thoroughly in the enterprise of learning, and has a life-long impact.” (http://teaching.berkeley.edu/dta.html). Along with that distinguished award she has also received the Outstanding Teacher Award at Berkeley as well. To tag another one up, related to UC Berkeley, she was also inducted into the Outstanding Women at UC Berkeley Hall of Fame in 1995.
The American Sociological Association, the association for which Hochschild was nominated twice as a Candidate for the Presidents position, also awarded her two awards. One of these awards was the 2001 Lifetime Achievement Award, the Sociology of emotions section. The second award was and award for her Public Understanding of Sociology, which she received a year earlier than the Lifetime Achievement award. “The Public Understanding of Sociology Award is given annually to a person or persons who have made exemplary contributions to advance the public understanding of sociology, sociological research, and scholarship among the general public.” (http://www.asanet.org/page.ww?section=Awards&name=Public+Understanding+of+Sociology+Award)
On a more personal professional kind of level, Dr. Hochschild is the author of 6 published books and of over 40 published articles. Hochschild has also spoken nationally and internationally well over 50 times. To me it sounds as if she could not possibly fit another thing into her schedule, but she finds a way and is a member of the Sociological Research Association and the International Association for Research on Emotion as well.
Two of her four academic books, The Managed Heart and The Second Shift were both “named notable social science books of the year by the New York Times Book Review in 1983 and 1989 respectively.” (http://socsic.colorado.edu/SOC/SI/si-hochschild.htm).
More privately, if you may consider this an accomplishment, Arlie is married and has two children of her own. She is also the author of a children’s story, so we can see that Dr. Hochschild has a knack for teaching young one’s as well.
Theses are just a selected few of Dr. Arlie Hochschild’s achievements, distinguished awards and honors. To see more of her accomplishments visit her school website at: http://sociology.berkeley.edu/faculty/hochschild/cv.htm
