Emotional Geographies Conferences
Increased recognition of the importance of emotions was marked by the success of the First Conference on Emotional Geographies (organized by Joyce Davidson, Lancaster UK, September 2002), which drew participants from a wide range of disciplines.
The Second Conference on Emotional Geographies (organized by Davidson and Laura Cameron, Queen's University, Canada, May 2006) was an even greater success than the first, generating involvement from a larger number of nations and disciplines. The level of enthusiasm among delegates was tremendous, and there is clearly a critical ground-swelling of support for and commitment to the subject.
The Third International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Emotional Geographies will be held at the University of South Australia in Adelaide April 6-8, 2010. Hosted by the Hawke Research Centre and the Bob Hawke Ministerial Centre.
