*The Second **Helsinki Emotions Populism and Polarisation Conference: Call for Papers*
After the success of our conference in August 2019, the Helsinki Hub on Emotions, Populism and Polarisation <http://www.helsinki.fi/hepp> and its associated projects, Mainstreaming Populism in the 21st Century (MaPo) and Whirl of Knowledge: Cultural Populism in European Polarised Politics and Societies (WhiKnow), invite proposals for papers for the Second Helsinki Conference on Emotions, Populism and Polarisation, to be held both in person and online from 6 to 8 May 2021.
With the subtheme of the conference being ‘Mainstreaming Populism in the Era of Transnational Crises’, to reflect on the relationship between pandemia and other current and past crises with populism, we encourage papers that approach the following and related themes:  

·       Mainstreaming populism 

·       Politics, populism, and social and political movements 

·       Radical democracy 

·       Subjectivity, affects, and gender 

·       Politics, polarisation, and hybrid media 

·       Cultural populism 

·       Populism in a COVID-19 and post-pandemic world 

·       Hybrid media and the polarisation of information 

·       The re-articulation and politicisation of Europe  

·       Populism, common grounds and communities of knowledge 

·       Empathy as a counter to polarisation and/or antagonism 

 

We especially welcome contributions from early-career researchers, andin a variety of formats: live in Helsinki, live via video, or via pre-recorded video.
