Cognitive sociology

Cognitive sociology is a sociological sub-discipline devoted to the study of the social and cultural contingencies and consequences of human cognition. Notable authors include, but are not limited to, Eviatar Zerubavel, Aaron Cicourel, Barry Schwartz, Karen A. Cerulo and Paul DiMaggio.[1]

The term 'cognitive sociology' was used already in 1974 by Cicourel.[2] However, in 1997 DiMaggio[3] published what has been referred to as a now classic paper[4] of Cognitive Sociology in its current form.

Special journal issues on the topic of Cognitive Sociology has been published by the scientific journals Poetics[5] and the European Journal of Social Theory[6] in 2010 and 2007 respectively.

In the fall semester of 2014, a graduate-level course in Cognitive Sociology was organized in the University of Copenhagen.[7]
