[Commlist] Society for the Study of Affect Summer School

The newly formed (still emergent?) Society for the Study of Affect is 
holding its first Summer School in Lancaster, PA, USA from Monday July 
29 to Monday July 29 to Friday August 02, 2019.  There are eleven 
different seminars on a diverse range of topics, all taught by a pair of 
convenors. More information is available on the website 
(http://affectsociety.com/) but here is the overall description:

There will be no better—more energizing, more community-building, more 
hopeful, more enlightening—way to spend a week of your summer. Whether 
you are an undergraduate/Master/PhD student, an early career academic, a 
tenured faculty person, or someone outside of the academy altogether, 
the Society for the Study of Affect Summer Seminars provides an amazing 
opportunity to learn, interact, and create alongside two dozen of the 
most engaging folks (established and up-and-coming scholars) working 
in/around affect studies from all around the world. Come be a participant!

Registration opens on Monday, April 1st. Seats in all seminars are 
available on first come, first served. We recommend registering sooner 
than later to guarantee your top choices. On June 1st, seminar 
registration rates will re-set to a higher amount. Come for just two or 
three days if you wish to take two seminars. Or stay for the full-week 
and register for as many as five seminars. Most seminars are capped no 
more than 25 students.

Beyond meeting in seminars, there will also be twice-daily gatherings on 
each seminar day for “animations’ & ‘provocations” intended to spark 
conversation and foster cross-contaminations between conveners and all 
of the seminar participants. If you attended #AffectWTF in 2015 or 
Capacious#AIMS in 2018, then you already know how uniquely 
interdisciplinary, convivially non-hierarchical and full-on invigorating 
these events are.

We have scheduled concurrent mini-conference style panels on Wednesday, 
July 31st (15 minute presentation slots) for graduate and early career 
researchers to share research and receive helpful feedback. If you have 
work in progress that you would like to present at #SSASS, send a 
message to (capacious /at/ millersville.edu) 
<mailto:(Capacious /at/ millersville.edu)> by no later than June 1st if you 
would like to be considered for a presentation slot.
