We’ll soon hand over this account to the brand new board of presidents we just elected: Carme Isern-Mas, Jean Moritz Müller and Ruth Rebecca Tietjen, who will announce the 2027 venue and the new managing assistants later in the year. In the meantime, stay hydrated & tune in for Passion updates!

That’s a wrap! An enormous thank you to our incredible community of scholars across all career stages for making our annual conference collegial, fun & intellectually stimulating—bringing all their energy to the talks and saving some more for art, bbq & dancing in the middle of the heatwave 🖥️🎻⛪️🌭🪩

@epsse.bsky.social 2026 is off to an amazing start at the beautiful campus at KU Eichstätt, will try to post here from the sessions. Here it is president Imke von Maur giving the welcome adress

Getting ready for the EPSSE annual meeting at the very picturesque town of Eichstätt, where our president Imke von Maur has put together a fantastic pre-conference workshop on philosophy of place — don’t worry if you have missed it, it will turn into a special issue of Passion!

Check our these excellent articles by Benjamin Matheson and Alba Montes Sanchez! Both use parenthood to explore very different questions: while Matheson's original three-book review dives into anxiety, guilt & pride, Montes Sanchez discusses how emotion helps knowing what we really want.

The CFP for the one-day pre-conference workshop “The Power of (Dis-)Placing: Affect, Practice and the Political” is open until the 15th of feb. Send your abstracts (500w) to imke.von.maur[at]ku.de with the subject ‘EPSSE 2026 Pre-conference’

Right now at University of Università di Roma Tor Vergata, Thomas Szanto on "The Phenomenology and Affective Politics of Non-Belonging", a new paper in progress w Alba Montes Sánchez, with a rich use of Iris Marion Young's use of asymmetrical reciprocity. @epsse.bsky.social
