From the Director
In 2021, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting lockdowns across the globe, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (CHE) has continued to be active and engaged. While we have had less opportunity to meet in person, the CHE nonetheless has been exploring opportunities to share our research and collaborate with node members, and is continuing to publish important research.
Several events have 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 (27 June–1 July 2022). The Call for Papers for this conference remain open, and there are several bursaries and prizes on offer. Our partners at the North American Chapter on the History of Emotion (NACHE), have also announced dates for their 2022 conference, which will be held 3–4 June 2022. Please visit the calendar of events at the Centre’s website for all updates regarding these events and others that are forthcoming.
On a final positive note, the Australian Research Council (ARC) has also generously granted the Centre a one-year extension of the use of the ARC Centre for Excellence name, allowing us to continue our work beyond 2021!

Call for New Editor/s
Emotions: History, Culture, Society (EHCS) is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary biannual journal published by Brill Publishing on behalf of the Society for the History of Emotions. EHCS is dedicated to understanding the emotions as culturally and temporally-situated phenomena, and to exploring the role of emotion in shaping human experience and action by individuals, groups, societies and cultures.
The current editors are Katie Barclay, Andrew Lynch and Giovanni Tarantino. Due to the retirement of Andrew Lynch, we are now looking for one or more editors to join the editorial team, alongside Barclay and Tarantino. We are particularly interested in expressions of interest from emotions researchers who can expand the disciplinary, geographical and temporal breadth of the current editors (both historians of early modern Europe). This role involves full editorial responsibility for the two issues of the journal each year, including recruiting submissions, managing peer review and preparing articles for submission, proof-reading and similar activities. We are supported by our publishing team at Brill and a professional copyeditor. If you are interested, please send us a short expression of interest to editemotions@gmail.com detailing your research interest/expertise and any relevant experience by 30 September 2021.
Call for Book Review Editor/s
EHCS also call for a new book review editor or editors to take over this role from Giovanni Tarantino. This role involves identifying appropriate books and their reviewers, editing copy, and managing the timely submission of reviews.

Condolences
 It was with great sadness that we learned of the death in May 2021 of our esteemed colleague Professor Louis Charland (CHE International Partner Investigator (2012–2017). Louis made an extraordinary contribution as a researcher, a teacher, and an academic leader of the first order.
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death in July 2021 of our esteemed colleague Dr Kimberley-Joy Knight (CHE Postdoctoral Research Fellow based at The University of Sydney, 2015‒2017, and CHE Honorary Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia). Kimberley was a wonderful and kind presence who enriched us all with her commitment to scholarship, her deep love of history, and her warmth.
An online condolence book has been set up by CHE for people to share their memories of Kimberley: https://www.remembr.com/kimberley-joy.knight.
