Marci Cottingham is a tenured assistant professor of sociology at the University of Amsterdam. Her work examines emotion and inequalities broadly and in connection with healthcare and biomedical risk. She is interested in how emotions are shaped by social hierarchies (social class, gender, race), occupations, and media.  Marci's prior research has focused on the emotional labor of men in nursing and the ways in which individual men and healthcare organizations reconcile masculinity with a caring profession. Her other projects have examined the emotional dynamics of sports fandom, sexual assumptions in clinical trials and healthcare, and the emotional dimensions of risk.  Building on her interest in risk emotions, biomedicine, and healthcare, she has two current projects. The first (Viral Fear project) uses qualitative and quantitative analyses of the 2014 Ebola epidemic to trace emotions across (1) the epidemic timeline, (2) individual and organizational actors, and (3) news and social media sources. The other current project (Pandemic Nursing project) has just been launched and will examine the experiences of US nurses in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak.
