Does your research focus on emotions, past or present? Ever wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the conceptual transformations that underpin the emergence of ‘emotions’ as a class of psychological phenomena?

This Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminar (PATS), run by the Sydney Node of the Centre for the History of Emotions, will bring students together with established scholars to discuss the long conceptual history of emotions. The PATS will take place the day after the Centre for the History of Emotions’ ‘Methods Collaboratory’, CHE Postgraduate students in Sydney to attend the Collaboratory are strongly encouraged to apply.

The PATS will consist of four short workshops. Each workshop will focus on a major figure in the history of philosophy 1100 – 1800 (Aquinas, Montaigne, Descartes and Hume). Leading international and Australian historians of philosophy will facilitate the workshops, and students will have the opportunity to discuss their own research.

The philosophical focus of this PATS is intended to allow students from all disciplines situate their own research within a broad conceptual history of emotions.

Cost

There is no cost for this PATS, places are limited however to ensure the day is focused. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, please advise of any dietary requirements when applying.
