From the Director
In 2021 we continue the new phase of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (CHE), which has continued to be active and engaged, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak. Members of the Centre continue to publish their excellent and ground-breaking research on the emotions, with details of new publications listed on the CHE website. A number of CHE sponsored events were cancelled or postponed, and our international visitors could not travel to us.
Several events having already been rescheduled across our nodes for 2021 and beyond. One major event, which will be held at The University of Western Australia node of CHE, is the ANZAMEMS conference on ‘Reception and Emotion’. The conference has been now been rescheduled for mid-2022 (with new dates to be announced shortly). The Call for Papers for this conference remain open, and there are several bursaries and prizes on offer. Please visit the calendar of events at the Centre’s website for all updates regarding this event and others that are forthcoming.
2021 also brings with it the departure of Peter Holbrook, who has stepped down as leader for The University of Queensland Node and will taking up a new role with the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne. Peter was one of the Chief Investigators who served CHE from 2011 to 2018, and continued on as node leader at UQ in 2019. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to Peter for his extraordinary service with the Centre. I would also like to welcome Andrea Bubenik, who has been appointed as Leader at The University of Queensland. We all look forward to working with Andrea to continue CHE’s excellent tradition of collaboration in emotions research.
Kirk Essary, Director

 Emotions of Space at The University of Western Australia
A new International Space Centre has launched at The University of Western Australia. The Centre will combine leading space science, research and teaching capabilities, advance the ability to operate from space and enable the development of innovative technology to enhance and sustain life on Earth and beyond.
A multi-disciplinary UWA team that includes more than 12 research nodes, 150 researchers and 20 PhD students will collaborate across areas ranging from optical communications, astrophysics, health, agriculture, engineering, information technology, and social studies.
Part of the International Space Centre is the 'Emotions of Space' interdisciplinary group, which is led by Professor Yasmin Haskell (CHE Foundation Chief Investigator, 2011–2016; and University of Bristol Partner Investigator, 2017–2018), and has interests in fiction, poetry, visual and performing arts, orbiting a core of research projects on emotions in space.
Listen to Professor Haskell, as she traces some of the complex and mixed emotions about space and space travel expressed by people on the ground and those on space missions.
