About Centre for the Politics of Feelings

The Centre for the Politics of Feelings is a new academic research centre devoted to the interdisciplinary understanding of emotions as causes — and also active targets — of political behaviour.  To this end, the Centre combines insights and tools from political psychology and political science, affective neuroscience, digital humanities, and computational social science to examine: > how affect, emotions, and their underlying neurophysiological mechanisms shape political behaviour, and > how politics and political events shape and exploit affect and emotions. The mission of the Centre is to become a leading hub for the continued understanding of how reason and social passions, in their inextricable symbiosis, define our political engagement with the social world. The Centre for the Politics of Feelings is funded by the NOMIS Foundation and is a partnership between the School of Advanced Study, the Warburg Institute and the Institute of Philosophy at University of London and the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway University of London.
