Call for Papers
What are the methodological consequences of the affective turn in social science research? What is the effect of this emotional turn in the context of wider trends in research in the social sciences – particularly the move away from the idea of researcher as detached observer towards more embedded and embodied presence?
This one-day postgraduate conference aims to provide the opportunity for postgraduate students to present their research and engage in academic debate on an often overlooked though significant area of social science research. That is, how to engage with emotionally-charged research and one’s own emotional response to it
By combining presentations of current research from postgraduate students with contributions from established academics, the conference will serve as a space to consider 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
Applications for 10-15 minute paper presentations addressing the theme of emotional methodologies are invited from Master’s and PhD students. 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 are limited to inviting a maximum of 30 delegates. There are spaces available for up to 16 presenting delegates who should apply with a 250-word maximum abstract and a brief biographical note. Non-presenting delegates are welcome. Details of all submitting delegates will be included in the conference programme
Applications should be sent to the organisers Grace Sykes [email protected] Tom Grant [email protected] Joseph De Lappe [email protected]
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Tuesday 31st March
Conference registration fee includes lunch, refreshments and wine reception. £10 BSA Members, £25 Non-BSA Members
