Dear colleagues, 
In relation to the call for papers for the 11th International Society for Intellectual History Conference University of Bucharest Romania in May 2011 (http://www.history.ox.ac.uk/isih/?page_id=38), we are thinking about building a panel about the topic briefly described below. 
Maybe list members might be interested in joining us ?
Best,

Children’s emotions in scientific psychology

Scientific psychology closely developed in relation to scholastic implications and applications. The historiography of psychological tests, for instance, has shown how the multidimensional relations linking education and psychology have encouraged psychologists to build theories about, design measuring instruments and develop scientifically based education about “ intelligence .” In this panel, we would like to displace the focus from intelligence onto the emotions. How have conceptualizations of the emotions dealt with (or were embedded in) the relation between psychology and education?

The panel is open to approaches from different academic disciplines. Especially welcome are contributions that focus on one, or interconnect several, of the following directions: 1) the way psychologists conceptualized the emotions in relation to intelligence and education ; 2) the position psychologists took, through these conceptualizations of the emotions, in the differentiation process of academic disciplines such as, medicine, pedagogy, philosophy and psychology ; 3) the way their conceptualizations gave (or not) some leeway to handle emotions  (i.e., in measures of education); 4) explicit positions that psychologists may have undertaken about the translation of their discourse on emotions into educational practices.
