University of Leicester
Call for Papers
The conference ‘Emotional Methodologies' will explore methods for researching emotionally-charged data and reflections on researchers’ responses to them, focusing on two themes:
· The methodological consequences of the affective turn in social science
· The move away from the idea of researcher as a detached observer towards more embedded and embodied presence
Combining presentations from established academics and contributions from postgraduate students, this multi-disciplinary event will provide a friendly and welcoming environment for postgraduates to present their research and engage in academic debate on the role emotion plays in contemporary social science research. It will also offer the opportunity to reflect on the direction emotionally-charged social science research could and should take in the future
Key Note Presentations:
Dr Kye Askins (University of Glasgow): Embedded and Emotional
Dr Helen Lucey (University of Bath): Emotional dimensions of research
Suggestions for topics include, but are not limited to:
· Emotion and place
· Engaging with emotionally charged research data
· Dealing with one’s own emotional response
· Embedded and embodied presence of the researcher
· Expected and unexpected emotions
· Challenges and/or opportunities of emotions in research
· Affect/Effect in research
· Transmission of emotions in research
· Welcoming emotions in research
We welcome applications from Masters and PhD students to present a paper.
Please send a 250 word (max) abstract and a brief biographical note before 5.00 pm on Tuesday 31st March to: Grace Sykes [email protected], Tom Grant [email protected] or Joseph De Lappe [email protected]. (Papers will last 10-15 minutes).
