Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce the call for submissions and for pre-conference proposals for the next biannual International Society for Research on Emotion (ISRE)conference. The conference will take place in person at Queen's University Belfast between 17 July 2024 (Wednesday) and 20 July 2024 (Saturday).

The ISRE conference is an exciting opportunity to meet international colleagues, present your work, and stay up to date with the latest developments in emotion research. ISRE members study emotions from a wide range of disciplines including psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, law, affective computing, history, anthropology, art, and design. ISRE 2024 will include keynote addresses by Phoebe Ellsworth, Terry Maroney, and Yuri Miyamoto.

If you would like to present your research at the ISRE conference, we invite you to submit an abstract of 250 words maximum by 30 November 2023 (end-of-day Pacific Time). Submissions are welcome from scholars in all relevant disciplines for symposia (of up to four talks and a discussant, or five talks), individual talks, and posters. We encourage those who would like to organize symposia to include more than one discipline in order to facilitate cross-disciplinary exchange. Talks will be 15-minutes long. Abstracts can be submitted online at the ISRE 2024 conference website (ISRE2024.org). Please consult the guidelines on the website before preparing your submission.

If you would like to organize a pre-conference, please submit a one-page PDF proposal to the conference chairs, Gary McKeown (g.mckeown@qub.ac.uk) and Magdalena Rychlowska (m.rychlowska@qub.ac.uk). Proposals should include the names and affiliations of the organizers, a description of 400 words maximum, and a provisional line-up of speakers and topics. If you have already emailed the chairs to signal interest in a pre-conference, they will contact you for more information.

All abstracts will be subject to peer review by an international scientific committee. Accepted abstracts will be published in the conference program. Notification of acceptance decisions will be communicated in February 2024. Online registration is expected to be available shortly after that.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Belfast in the summer of 2024!
