Emotions are crucial to human values and our sense of justice and wellbeing and play a central part in health (including mental health and disease). They are of central interest to varied academic and clinical disciplines in the humanities, neuroscience and psychiatry.
This interdisciplinary conference will be of interest to a wide range of researchers (in both neuroscience and the humanities) and psychiatrists, mental health professionals and other clinicians and will bring together distinguished international experts to address a number of questions including:
1) How do we explain emotion and mental illness from different perspectives?
2) How do we study these phenomena though complementary academic and clinical disciplines?
3) How are emotion and mental illness represented in text, image, sound, or through scientific methods?
