Invited Speakers

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Language and Emotional Development

Knowledge about, experiences of, and competencies for emotion change as individuals develop over the lifespan and as cultures evolve over historical time. How does the language used for emotion track these changes? What role might it play in maintaining or even precipitating them? Our invited speakers will engage with these questions, among others, as they present research on language and emotional development.

 

Focusing on individual development, their talks will explore how emotion words and caregiver interactions may scaffold emotion knowledge and experience in infants and young children, how fostering social and emotional skills may promote healthy behavioral and relational dynamics, and how these processes are shaped by cultural context.

 

Focusing on cultural development, speakers will examine how words for emotion take on new meanings, how cross-cultural contact may impact language for emotion, and how these processes may subsequently influence development at the individual level.

Call for Submissions
(closed)

Submissions for flash talks and poster presentations focusing on emotional development are invited. We encourage researchers of various disciplines and career stages to attend and present their research. Submissions will be evaluated by at least 2 experts of emotional development, and flash talk submissions not accepted will be considered for poster presentations. The preconference will also feature a “Best Poster Award” to the top presented poster, as evaluated by the invited speakers.
