Posted Friday, March 23, 2012 2:26 PM

The Affect Project will sponsor a day-long symposium entitled “Expressing Emotion” on 2 May 2012 that will bring together students and researchers interested in all aspects of affect and its role in history, culture, and lived experience. The symposium will be organized as a series of roundtable discussions; participants will have seven minutes each to speak about their research interests or to address a particular problem or issue related to affect or to research about affect (for example, a theory about affect or emotion that would be useful for members of the Affect Project to consider). Topics could include, but are not limited to: - affect and public policy - memory, regret, nostalgia - aesthetics and suicide - affect and alienation - affect and the power of images If you are interested in participating, please send a brief statement about what you plan to contribute to the roundtable to Professor Arlene Young at Arlene.Young@ad.umanitoba.ca. Deadline for submissions is April 13th, 2012. Observers will be welcome at the symposium.
