Emotions shape the way individuals and communities navigate their personal and collective lives, influencing decisions, relationships and the structures that govern societies. They are deeply embedded in social, cultural and political contexts, acting as both a personal experience and a force that drives public action. This conference seeks to examine the central role of emotions in shaping identity, power relations and societal structures. By exploring how emotions are experienced, expressed and manipulated, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of their impact on contemporary social and political realities.
We invite scholars, researchers and practitioners to contribute papers that critically analyse the intersections of emotion, identity and power. This conference will foster a multidisciplinary dialogue on how emotions are experienced, represented and mobilised across diverse social and political contexts.
