Call for papers: Researching emotion in International Relations: a conversation on methodologies
The Emotions in Politics and IR Working Group is inviting postgraduate students and early-career researchers to explore methodological issues and challenges in researching emotion and affect in International Relations. Growing emotion/affect studies in IR have attempted to pluralise methodologies, drawing on multi-disciplinary knowledge, techniques, and ethical reflections.
If accepted on to the workshop, you will engage in dialogue about experiences, techniques, and insights about methodology/method, knowledge-production, reflectivity, and ethics in emotion/affect research. The workshop will offer a space to engage with in-depth discussion with experienced researchers and to think through deeper structures and implications of your research projects.
Applicants should send a short biography and an abstract stipulating methodological considerations in their research project (max. 300 words) by 24 February 2022. The workshop with take place virtually on
