EHCS is a bi-annual journal dedicated to understanding emotions in historical, social and cultural contexts, and to exploring the role of emotion in shaping human experience, societies, cultures and environments.

It will publish theoretically-informed work from a range of historical, cultural and social domains. It will embrace multidisciplinary approaches (both qualitative and quantitative) from history, art, literature, law, languages, music, politics, sociology, cognitive sciences, cultural studies, environmental humanities, religious studies, linguistics, philosophy, psychology and related disciplines.
