History of Emotions

**Histories of Emotion** is a dynamic research collective focused on the study of emotional experiences in pre-modern Europe, particularly from 1100 to 1800. Based in Australia, this esteemed group is part of the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, collaborating across several prestigious universities, including those in Western Australia, Melbourne, Adelaide, Queensland, and Sydney.

The primary mission of Histories of Emotion is to explore the description, representation, and experiences of emotions, delving into how these facets were understood and depicted in historical contexts. Their work encompasses a range of scholarly activities, including research documentation, online exhibitions, and blog entries that articulate their findings and personal reflections as early-career researchers. By chronicling the evolution of emotional histories, Histories of Emotion provides valuable insights into how feelings have shaped human experiences across time and geographical boundaries, making significant contributions to the fields of humanities and cultural history.
