The Emotion/Feeling Research Series of lectures aims to provide a stepping stone for graduate students in the Department of Sociology (and the College of Social Sciences) to gain an introduction or further understanding of the field by inviting scholars who engage in research related to emotions and feelings to share their insights. The first keynote lecture in this series, titled "Body, Land, and Gender: Spatial Practices and Identity Reconstruction of Female Migrants Returning to Agriculture in Taiwan," features Dr. Huang Ziling as the speaker. Dr. Huang focuses on female migrants who transition from urban to rural areas, exploring their motivations, actions, and negotiations during this movement. She also deeply analyzes how these spatial practices, closely tied to the body, influence women’s self-perception, their views on gender roles, and the connections between body and emotion. As emphasized in the series' theme of "emotion" and "feeling," Dr. Huang’s case study highlights that understanding the interviewed women requires a close examination of bodily experiences and emotional dynamics; only by carefully investigating the roles of emotions and feelings, and how they operate within the body, do we have the opportunity to explore how these female migrants, who navigate between urban and rural settings, connect their personal experiences to broader social and natural contexts.
