Cfp: Workshop on Emotions and Scottish History Both emotions and Scottish History are broadly defined, and we particularly welcome scholars who may be interested in questions or sources which relate to emotions in some way, but who might not necessarily self-define as historians of emotion. Postgraduate researchers and early career researchers are especially encouraged to participate. Interdisciplinary perspectives are very welcome, as are contributions from all periods of Scottish History, including Scotland and Scots in global contexts. In particular, we are keen to stimulate discussion and collaboration in a nascent area of Scottish historical research, and to provide a forum for discussion about the nature of Scottish emotions history and building community and networks in the area. For this reason, the Workshop will be based around shorter and more interactive discussion sessions, rather than formal 20-minute research papers or keynote lectures (although depending on the outcome of the day we may consider organising such a conference in future). We therefore invite proposers to suggest one or both of the following:A lightning presentation on an aspect of their research which relates to emotions and Scottish History. These will be around 10-15 minutes (plus questions/discussion), depending on the final schedule. Participation in a roundtable discussion on a broader theme. Participants are welcome to suggest their own themes, but the following possible topics have already been identified:Place and emotionGenderOral histories and memoryMaterial cultureNation and identityThe final schedule will structure these elements according to the range and balance of proposed contributions. Proposers should register their interest by emailing john.mccallum@ed.ac.uk with a brief bio, and a 100-150 word proposal and title (for lightning presentations) and/or a brief explanation of what they would like to contribute to a thematic roundtable. The deadline for proposals is Wednesday 21 May 2025. Please also contact John for any queries about the Workshop.The workshop will be free to attend, including refreshments, and take place at the University of Edinburgh.
