After
the success of the first two conferences (in Lancaster UK, and Kingston,
Canada) the University of South Australia is proud to host the 2010
conference to be held in Adelaide, 6–8 April 2010. It will be hosted by the
Hawke Research Institute and the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre. The
conference will be an exciting place to think about new ways of studying the
natures, cultures and histories of emotional life.
