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 all-together, 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.

ADDITIONAL SCHEDULING

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 2017, then you already know how uniquely interdisciplinary, convivially non-hierarchical and full-on invigorating these events are.

NOTE: Seminar #11 is offered just once on Wednesday free-of-charge, and the first 25 registrants who choose to do so will be offered the opportunity to sign up for it.

Works in Progress Presentation

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.

This way the organizers and conveners can get to better know you and your interests.

The seminar conveners will also be in touch in the weeks/days leading up to the seminar to supply any necessary readings or to make sure that you follow through on any pre-seminar assignments/tasks.

If you need a letter of acceptance in order to receive travel support or other funding from your institution, please notify us and we will send any necessary confirmation notice about your participation to you &/or your institution.
