4th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Emotional Geographies University of Groningen, the Netherlands, July 1-3, 2013 Emotions in fieldwork. Convenors: Katy Bennett (University of Leicester) and Bettina van Hoven (University of Groningen) This session opens up space for conversation around emotions in research. It aims to explore the different ways in which people engage with emotion, affect and feelings in their fieldwork, analysis, writing, filming, photography (and more besides) to develop understanding and knowledge in their work. How have research methods and practices advanced to embrace the significance of emotion for meaningful research? What theoretical work have researchers found useful when it comes to thinking about feelings in fieldwork? How do we analyse and make sense of experiences and feelings in fieldwork? How do we write or re-present our research in a way that is evocative, meaningful and has an affect? So often researchers are beetling away alone when thinking through these sorts of issues, this session brings people together for inter-disciplinary, thought provoking discussion. Please send abstracts of approx 300 words to Katy ([log in to unmask]) and Bettina ([log in to unmask]) before Jan 5th, 2013.
