© The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.This study articulates the Sociology of Emotions with the Critical Social Transformative Learning (CSTL) theory to understand how the emotional experiences of business management professors contribute to the engagement of their students in transformative learning processes towards facing collective dilemmas through Community Outreach Projects (COPs) based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The interviews conducted with 16 business management professors from 9 different Brazilian universities and the reports received by 60 students showed that the basic elements of the professors’ emotional experiences included “distress-disagreement-shame-guilt, prosocial behaviour, and empathy.” These elements developing in primary socialization triggered the professors to develop pedagogical practices to address the resolution of collective social problems advocated in the SDGs. The results obtained in this study indicated the dynamics of this process and brought implications to the Sociology of Emotions and CSTL theory as well as practical implications for professors, students, and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide, in particular, but not limited to, Business Management Education.
