Dear ISRE Members,
In this space the president of ISRE highlights content of the current issue of Emotion Researcher and shares news about the society. After an exciting conference in Los Angeles last year, the next bi-annual ISRE conference will take place in Europe. ISRE24 will take place in Belfast from the 17th to the 20th of July. The local conference chairs Bronagh Allison, Salvador Alvidrez, Gary McKeown, and Magda Rychlowska are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. More information about the program and a call for papers will be announced in the coming months.
Emotion Review, which now has an impressive impact factor of 7.345, has been edited by Jerry Parrot, who did a wonderful job but understandably also feels that this should not be a life sentence. Thank you very much Jerry for your stewardship! Jerry will be followed by a team of three Editors. Having a team will allow Emotion Review to even better follow its mission of multidisciplinarity. The members of the incoming editorial team are:
Giovanna Colombetti is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Exeter, UK. Her research focuses on emotion and affectivity, and the field of ‘4E cognition’ (embodied, embedded, enactive and extended cognition).
Bradly Irish is Associate Professor of English Literature at Arizona State University, USA, and studies the literature and culture of 16th-century England, with a particular focus on the history of emotion.
Brian Parkinson is Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Oxford, UK. His research focuses on how our emotions affect other people (and how they affect other people’s emotions).
You will find more information on the editorial team in this issue of Emotion Researcher.
Finally, at the 2022 Meeting ISRE, for the second time, recognized young researchers through the ISRE Dissertation Award. The ISRE Executive Committee plans to continue the ISRE Dissertation Award every two years, as well as share the research of the finalists in a subsequent issue of Emotion Researchers. In this issue of Emotion Researcher, you will find the summaries of the Dissertations by Chelsea Rae Kelly, PhD (Winner), Erik Nook, PhD (1st Runner-up) and Meltem Yucel, PhD (2nd Runner-up).
Your President,
Ursula
