The Emotion/Affect Research Seminar Series invites scholars engaged in emotion/affect-related research to share their insights, aiming to provide students of the Graduate Institute of Sociology (and the College of Social Sciences) with foundational knowledge or further understanding of the field. The upcoming lecture, "Negative Resistance: Embodied Practices of Struggle and Emotional Communities," is the second keynote in the Emotion/Affect Research Seminar Series. Speaker Tsao Yi-Chia presents a different perspective from previous research, understanding social movements through the lenses of the body and emotions. She highlights how bodily and emotional experiences, everyday practices, and the solidarity formed through both contribute to the emergence and maintenance of social movements.
