This year’s Consortium of European Research in Emotion (CERE) will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, organized by Dr Rachael Jack. A symposium idea on affective social learning was submitted and accepted.

I will host the symposium entitled, Affective social learning: process, context and development and it will feature talks by Christian Mumenthaler, Magdalena Rychlowska and Brian Parkinson while Agneta Fischer will lead a discussion afterwards.

The full symposium looks something like this:
