CfP: 'Political #Emotions in Times of Conflict', 11-12 March 2026 in Florence @sns.it @cidape.bsky.social

@sonjablum.bsky.social and I invite papers for our panel 'Emotional conflicts around Energy transitions in Europe: #Policy narratives and policymaking dynamics'.
👉Deadline 31.12.2025

In October, I visited Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence, exploring how #emotions shape #Italy’s policy debates on #energypoverty
I shared some impressions on our @cidape.bsky.social Blog:

📣 In a new open access article in @environmentalpol.bsky.social, I examine how appeals to "economic realism" – like the claim that we "can’t afford climate policy" – have long structured far-right #climateskepticism @cidape.bsky.social @ifswien.bsky.social

🌿Mid-term conference in #Tartu this month - We discussed ways to strengthen interdisciplinary research on #ClimateEmotions, innovative methodologies and staged an interactive #deliberative #democratic assembly on #ClimatePolitics led by @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social @futuresstudiouu.bsky.social

Had a wonderful time at the @ecpr.bsky.social conference in Thessaloniki! Great exchanges on #Emotions and Public #Policy, especially in the panel chaired by @kaylamgabehart.bsky.social and in the panels by our @protemo.bsky.social and @pledge-project.bsky.social colleagues.

Check out one of the first publications from the CIDAPE project @cidape.bsky.social on „Climate, Inequality and Democratic Action - The Force of Political Emotions“ 👇

Wonderful 2nd day at #ecprjs25 in Prague. Together with @sonjablum.bsky.social and Chris Weible from @ucdenver.bsky.social we have collected papers analysing emotions in policy studies. Focusing on methodology we dive deep in the analysis — like here with @cidape.bsky.social

This week, Susanna Soosaar (University of Tartu) and Nora Habelitz (University of Bielefeld) are working together to discuss climate policy narratives in Bielefeld. They’re analysing emotions in debates about climate laws in the Estonian and German context. 🌱

Nora Habelitz presenting research results with Fabienne Lind @fabiennelind.bsky.social and Sonja Blum @sonjablum.bsky.social at #ecprjs25. "Energized? How German and Italian Politicians emotionally narrate energy policy in the EU Elections 2024."🔋
