About the Event

We are holding a seminar series in addition to our annual symposium. There will be one seminar per semester, and our next one will take place on Friday, 13 March 2026, 1-2pm – save the date!

Call for Papers

The theme for this seminar series will be ‘Sociology of Emotions: Methods and Methodologies’. We invite submissions from anyone who would like to present on this theme regarding work they’re doing which fits under the umbrella of sociology of emotions. We're interested in papers which unpack the nuances and intricacies in researching emotions, and would particularly welcome papers which engage with and through creative methods (be they arts-based, innovative, etc). The format will be a small selection of 10-15-minute presentations followed by a plenary discussion.

This will be an opportunity for our community to explore and deepen our thinking around the dynamics, complexities, and challenges in researching emotions.

Abstract Submissions

Please send your abstracts (up to 250 words) to the organisers.

Deadline for submissions: Friday, 13 February 2026.
